Re: not Iris forrestii

 

I do always assume that such unknown plants are hybrids to avoid propagating confusion. I'll just have to use it as an excuse to acquire more spuria species.

Planted in 2005, and finally blooming this year. Wrong species, wrong section, and not even yellow! Iris orientalis, perhaps?


I really hate waiting years to flower the wrong plant. I've done that many times with rare trees also.

It is obviously a Spuria Iris, the signal looks a bit wrong for I. orientalis though. My guess is a Spuria hybrid.
