Re: Neomarica

 

I do think 'Regina' could be a hybrid. Caerulea should have a well developed, horizontal rhizome and the flowers should emerge from a single 'socket' (fasciculated or bundled) .  Hannelore Goos < http://www.neomarica.de/English/ > says that caerulea also does not produce plantlets. Three strikes and 'Regina' is out! The latter is also bad news for David's caerulea because it produces plantlets. Attached is a photo of a plant I had as 'caerulea' that I believe has the correct inflorescence. It didn't produce a plantlet. I lost it that first season. Without seeing it in person, I think perhaps David's is N. sabini. It has a branched stem and dark violet flowers.

Rodney,
      What do you think âReginaâ is?  Could it be a hybrid?
