Re: Iris xanthospuria

This year I haven't done anything to prevent bees from crossing it with other
nearby spurias, but hopefully next year I'll find time to hand-polinate some
of the flowers.

You are right, Ken, that is beautiful. Maybe someday I can get some seed as well - perhaps you will have some extra seed at some point.

I have a seedling of Iris xanthospuria (also known as Turkey Yellow)
in bloom. I recently lost the plant marker that had the seed source
so I went back through seed lists. The only I. xanthospuria marked
was for wild collected seed from turkey distributed through the NARGS
seed exchange in 2002, which is the right time frame. While NARG
seeds are not always correctly labeled, this looks like the real thing.
It a a beautiful deep yellow. I'm attaching a photo.
