RE: SIGNA Seed Photos

 

I love the forms of Iris variegata and try to get seed of them whenever they are available through SIGNA or BIS.

Subject: [iris-species] SIGNA Seed Photos

 

I've a photo of something very charming I grew from SIGNA seed. Unfortunately I cannot find the appropriate sales list to put its number and date on it. 
 
This was grown several years ago--no problems, sowed the seed when I got it and left it out on the deck through the remaining winter months--and up she came and kept on coming. I added the mature plant to the collection at the Center for Historic Plants in Charlottesville, Virginia, USA, where I was revamping the historic Iris collection, and adding a few species. The attached photo was taken there.
 
It was identified on the sales list as Iris variegata "white form" and I as I recall Mathes was the donor. This would have been within the last decade, so that you may be able to determine its little provenace, if you can find the right list.
 
Cordially,
 
AMW
