Yes, i hope current USA source of his new intros gets his acts together this
year...


Anton Mego's irises come from Bratislava, zone 6, so they should do well in
Southern Ontario!

Looc

  I have Slovak Prince and Slovavk Sapphire. Both are? very hardy and great
  performers in my climate, where this sort of hardiness is uncommon. Love
both
  of them. Have used Slovak Prince in my breeding program, and will continue
  using it.

  But current USA source of his new intros? had? been reported as having had
  some problems last year? with size of rhizomes.

     Anybody know (more or less) what climate type Slovakia most resembles in
  the US??
  ?
   And what kind of growing conditions he has for selection of his  seedlings
-
  i.e., irrigated or not, good or poor air circulation (valley  vs slope),
  erratic freezes or not, etc??
  ?
   I always try to guess from the parents how well new introductions might
do
  here, but I can't tell from these. Some I've tried to grow, and while  they
  didn't do well enough to be fertile growing out in the
  gravel/drought/fog/dew/flood, they probably could have been used for
breeding
  if protected & grown in pots.  & therefore some strong  seedlings for here
  would be possible.?

   Trying not to get too carried away by the pretty faces ;-)?
