Questions about iris culture in Taiwan
From: Hsiao-Chiu =?iso-8859-1?Q?Chu=A6=B6=BCS=AC=EE?= <hchu@netrd.iii.org.tw>
Hi, all:
I am new to this list. I live in Taiwan and have been wanting to try some
irises at here. However, Taiwan has very few imported irises except some
Dutch iris bulbs which are only good for one season blooming. As for native
iris, the only one we have here is Iris formosa.
The question I have is: can most of bearded irises survive the climate
here? Taiwan's climate is very close to Southern Florida. We have hot and
humid summer, usually in the 90s, sometimes will go over 100. Winter is mild,
almost always over 50. High humidity here and good for orchids. The dry
season ususally in winter, some summer days can be dry too. Generally
speaking, it is in the humid side. Spring and fall are nice but kind of
short.
I am also curious if the Louisiana iris and Pacific coast iris can prosper
here??
Thanks for any information/suggestions!!
