Re: Iris humilis?

 

I got a plant last year that had been labelled as Iris humilis SIGNA 12DB003 (wc Hungary), but sadly it turned out to be this! An SDB I guess. Tags got mixed up somewhere in the convoluted path it took to me. I never successfully germinated that species myself from the same seed lot.

Yes, it looks like the plants I've grown as Iris humilis: a clear yellow dwarf bearded iris with deep yellow beards and a bit of fine blue-purple veining near the base of the falls. Is each flower open for just one day?

I've collected some seeds from the two SIGNA 13DB03 plants that bloomed for me this year and I've now taken one division each as "backup copies". I'm hoping to keep them going longer than I have this species in the past. I'm thinking that Saskatchewan might be closer to their native climate than here.
