Â
I used to have a cream coloured pseudacorous collected locally in
wild,. And a very white clone originally collected locally by Bruce
Richardson (one of SIGNA founders). Have also seen another white
clone, but never collected it. Also locally.

Roberto,

ÂÂÂÂ I wonder if they could be natural hybrids with another species -
maybe a white form of Iris virginica? "Jefferson City, KY" is actually
Jefferson County - Lousiville, Kentucky where the Kentucky Derby is
run.Â

Hi all,
in autumn 2012 I sowed the SIGNA seeds labeled as "Iris pseudacorus wc
Bear Grass Creek, Jefferson City, KY (10LV131)". Today, two of these
plants have flowered: one has normal yellow flower, while another has
developed a white flower with little obvious signal. These seeds should
be collected in nature. How to be interpreted? An example of natural
diversity? It's difficult, but I can not exclude to 101% the arrival of
a seed from my other iris (I grow various white flower I.pseudacorus).
Thank you.
