Hello everyone,
I just joint this group and I would present
myself.
I'm 29 y.o. from Italy and I'm iris and irids collector but
interested in all rare and unusual geophytes (especially for
mediterranean climate).
My job is farmer (fruit's productions) and
I'm also very interested
in wild flora of Italy. My first hobby is orchids
growing, but I'm
into irids with the same big passion. My favourite irid
genus are
Iris (especially eupogon, juno and oncos); Moraea (quite
difficult to
find species in commerce, I got only 13 species!) and other
genus
which are quite rare in commerce here in Europe (such as Ferraria,
Geissorhiza, Hesperantha and much more).
My first goal is in
growing ex situ all the italian iris species to
preserve and reproduce
its; I'm in touch with some botanical
institutions, enthusiasts and
botanists to keep on a good information
network and exchanges.
Be a
member of SIGNA will be very helpful for my knowledges (and
hoping I'll be
of some help for others too!).
My best regards to everyone, and please
be patient for my quite bad
english.
fil.
