Re:Iris versicolor in Florida

I agree with Bill Shear on this.  It is very hard to reconize 
I.Va. and I. versi. difference.  Best way maybe the seed pods, I got 
a excellent paper from Tony Huber on this.  I was trying to learn 
and had sent him information that I had taken from his and from Sacks 
and Schaffer articles.  Getting the I. versi information was easy, 
but finding information on I.va. was hard.  I grow a lot of different 
clumps of each.  I gathered a lot of I. va. from the wild and 
I. versi I grew from seed and I did buy a few plants of I.versi.  
sometimes the plants of I.versi just sit there a couple of 
inches high when they are planted in the ground, when they are in 
pots with drip dishes underneath which I kept full of water they 
grew normally.  I find that I. va. does not have that problem.
