RE: Re[2]: Iris narcissiflora

Hello Edmundas,
 
Many thanks for the description.
 
It is indeed a very strange rhizome. What I find most strange is the texture of the leaves, they look as if they were made of velvet. You can also monitor the degree of hydration which effects you can notice within minutes. It's also surprising how it can develop leaves before developping secondary roots.
 
I promise I will send you some pictures of the flowers and I hope it will produce seeds. If it was the same kind of Iris Narcissiflora, we could maybe exchange pollen and thus avoid clonation as this can cause a species to become sterile, as happened to the I. Afghanica. The latter has never produced seeds.
 
Best regards,

ZhaoYu-tang in the book Iris of China about I.narcissiflora write:
"...leaves soft, linear, 2 to 3mm wide as long as or slightly shorter
than flower stem, ...". Leaves shown in your picture seems are not
common for beardless irises, but maybe for beardeds. I had also under
the name I.narcissiflora plant grown from seeds which were obtained
from J.Waddick, but later he disproved seeds were of I.narcissiflora.
My plant flowered like siberian six fall rose violet.
