Linda sent a very interesting posting about different types of inhibition. I
think if there was a commercial feed crop whose seeds acted in the same way
as iris seeds, then you would see 'anti-inhibiter' produced in vast
quantities. The problem with getting companies interested in such a project
is usually lack of $$$$$.
Apart from the fact that I stratifiy all my iris seeds before planting, I
also provide the pots with the occassional block of ice which melts slowly
into the pot. I think I got the idea from someones web page.
I usually see seeds emerging after 8 weeks, and get around 50-70%
germination. I have no idea if this is normal.
Cheers, Jan in Castlemaine, Victoria, Australia, (a stone throw from where
gold was first discovered in Aus) where it's time to go buy some potting mix
and plant up a thousand or so seeds.
