Re: Mystery spuria species

 

Jean
Would really like to help you ID these Spuria. I'm afraid my comments are going to be more muddle than help !
 
I'd have to say that your pictures remind me very strongly of the I. halophila that I grew from seed. The white/yellow bloom is a precise match in color, and the bloom form aligns well with the spuria grex that I grow. ( of course there is no guarantee that the seed I obtained was identified correctly, either )
 
So, for what its worth, your pictures look like the putative I. halophila grown from Signa Seed about a decade ago.

Subject: [iris-species] Mystery spuria species

 

The attached pictures were first identified as
I. spuria subsp. carthaliniae, but then the owner
changed her mind and said they were I. klattii,
which as far as I can tell isn't a currently
recognized species - what's its current status?
The pictures of klattii I was able to find on
the internet are blue rather than white.

Any thoughts as to what these iris actually are?

Thanks,

Jean
