Re: I. pallida

---

I am not sure what the questions are? Yes ‘Fairy’ is listed as Iris lutescens. Prior to about the 1950’s when Schreiner’s brought in seed from Transylvania there seemed to be no true Iris pumila in this country. Everyone was using the name pumila for dwarf irises that were actually lutescens. One sure way to know is that pumila has a floral tube arising directly from the rhizome whereas lutescens has a stalk with usually two or more flowers. Fairy I believe is said to be 2 flowered, which would make it a lutescens.

Thanks for the pictures.

Could you clarify for me a few puzzles,

Fairy is listed in the SIGNA check list as being Iris lutescens

True Charm is registered as being St. Clair X Oriflame (which is a 48 chromosme plant listed as Iris germanica)

Loppio is listed in check list as Iris aphylla X pallida. Is this dark purple colour in any other pallida plants.

Thanks

It should lead you to this chat group. Once you are into the chat group page, there will be a box on the left, and one of the options listed in it will be "Photos". Click on that to open it, and you will be into the photos section of the Iris Species chat group. You will find my photos in "Dave's Iris", and there are quite a number of other interesting photos there.
