{Disarmed} Re: Fw: Iris kamaonensis?


Hi Kate,

It certainly doesn't look like a Pseudoregelia. The markings on the haft of the
falls look to me like a 28 chromosome Siberian: Iris siberica or Iris sanguinea.

Subject: [iris-species] Iris kamaonensis?
 
Hi,
 
I am a new member of this group.  I live in New Zealand but love growing species Irises, so thought I'd join this group as it looked very interesting.
 
A few of years ago I obtained some seed of Iris kamaonensis.  From memory it was collected in the wild somewhere.  I have three plants that are now of flowering size, two of which seem to match the description, and this one which is different (see attached photos).  It grows 30-40cm high and has pale flowers, tinged with blue.  The photos show the whole plant, and a close-up of a flowering stem with two flowers. 
 
I'd really appreciate some help in identifying this species.
 
Regards,
Kate
