seedlings

50¢

Mixed, tending to be 'Clairette'-like from 'Cantab' x bakeriana crosses. Suggestion: order at least a dozen to ensure you get a bit of variety.

better seedlings

$2

Mixed, tending to be Armenian Caucasus-like (ie. pink shading with wide falls). These are fertile.

above avg. seedlings

$5

Above average performers. Numbered (eg. 87-CQ-3), with parentage. These are fertile.

bakeriana

$2

Eight sided leaves. Blue with dark ink blue fall blades. Lovely. The clone I am offering is the hort. form. This is NOT the hybrid 'Gordon' which is sometimes mistakenly sold as bakeriana.

danfordiae (diploid)

$15

ANM2325 Diploid form of danfordiae, so it is fertile!! This particular clone is smaller than typical diploid forms.

danfordiae (diploid)

$15

From Ahmet Atilla. Diploid, so it is fertile. Slightly variable.

histrio ssp. histrio

$7

White with a blue infusion, and striking dark blue blotches. Standards and style arms are solid blue.

hyrcana 'Talish'

$6

Variable shades of blue, from light blue to dark blue. Some with white pollen, and some with bright orange. These were collected in the Talysh mountains bordering Azerbaijan and Iran by Janis Ruksans. I am just starting to see the hybridizing result of working with them. As expected it does seem to be a good parent. When they were first introduced in the early 90s, Janis charged $20 U.S. per bulb. In the first two years I bought 6.

Armenian Caucasus Retic

$2

Red-purple, may fade / lighten a little as the flowers age. Unlike typical I. reticulata this collected form (ie. pure species) has a wide fall blade. Used extensively in my hybridizing. I have found it to be quite a good parent.

albomarginata

$40

Up to 4 flowers: lovely dark blue with some white on the fall in between dark blue veins. The crest is typically white with a dark blue top edge. Winged. Seeds nubbed - Tylospera group. Excellent parent. Possibly 1 or 2 available

aucheri - hort.

$8

Up to 4 flowers: light blue, with a mauve infusion. Large standards which arch downwards. Winged

aucheri - Bechçe

$14

Up to 4 flowers: a different form of aucheri; slightly variable.

aucheri - Leylek

$16

ANMc2822: up to 7 flowers!: I have several nice forms, which are different from each other. I have them separated. How many are you interested in?

aucheri - Leylek dark blue

$45

ANMc2822: The particular clone available increases, but appears to be a shy bloomer.

aucheri - Leylek Alba

$30

ANMc2822: pure white. Lovely

bucharica x aucheri hort.

$15

Up to 5 flowers: white with dark veining showing up as ticks along the edge of the falls. Large bright yellow blotch on the fall blade and crest. I believe this is likely a bucharica x warlyensis, or reverse, hybrid. It is very beautiful.

"Blue bucharica - Stage 1"

$12

A fertile robust hybrid from the late Frank Kalich involving bucharica, vicaria, and magnifica. The "Blue" is a misnomer since it has only a hint of blue. Frank's 'Stage 3' was said to have a lot more blue in it from vicaria. All of the bulbs that I got from Frank turned out to be 'Stage 1'. Robust

bucharica (good clone)

$5

Up to 7 flowers: Obtained from Bruce Richardson. A good clone. Better than a number I've bought commercially. Yellow-orange falls, with cream stds & styles. Unwinged.

bucharica Lemon Yellow

$20

The lemon colour is noticeable on its own. You can especially see the difference if it is planted beside other bucharicas. This clone is more of a novelty, but is of interest because it shows bucharica is normally orangish-yellow, not yellow as we tend to say it is.

"orchioides hort."

$3

This is the more yellow form of bucharica that is being sold in the commercial bulb trade as orchiodes. Typical bucharica has cream to white style arms and standards. "Orchioides hort." increases rapidly, but is shy flowering.

"orchioides hort. - Cuba"

$10

This is actually a more yellow form of bucharica, with large flower parts. The flowers are unwinged, and thus clearly the plant is not really orchioides. Far superior to the typical hort. form. These were obtained more than 5 years ago from Jaroslav Cuba. I have several clones with varying amounts of green fall markings.

bucharica Cuba - 91

$6

Up to 4 flowers. Plant form is skinnier than others, plus flowers are slightly smaller. Interestingly different. This form was obtained from Jaroslav Cuba in 1991.

bucharica - Edmundas

$10

Excellent plant, with a noticably different colouring (shade of yellow) and fall blade shape from other bucharicas.

bucharica - Duschanbe

$15

Distinctly different: lemon yellow standards, style arms and fall hafts; typical yellow fall blade with green markings. I expect it will make an interesting parent

buch. - fully yellow-orange

$20

Full yellow-orange with flower parts that are a bit less wide than the hort form. Janis sells these for $20 U.S.!

graeberiana

$12

Up to 4 flowers: methyl-blue flowers. Winged. Seeds nubbed. Couple only; I need most for hybridizing!

graeberiana 'Dark Form'

$25

Up to 7 flowers: Beautiful dark blue with a striking yellow tip to the crest (no yellow blotch). I believe this is an albomarginata hybrid. It is a very good grower. Only a few available

Penny Aguirre wrote, the Junos "were quite the conversation pieces with garden visitors. I am a molecular biologist by trade, so some people thought I produced them in the lab. How else do you get an Iris bloom on a maize plant! ...they all bloomed and I was particularly fond of graeberiana 'Dark Form' ".

"graeberiana 'Yellow Fall'"

$15

This is a hybrid It is somewhat similar to the "Kara Kum Desert" Juno. Nice.

"Kara Kum Desert Juno"

$15

Up to 6 flowers: light blue. The fall blade is veined blue, and it has an infusion of yellow around its crest. Semi-winged. Junos are said not to grow in the Kara Kum Desert. This plant was obtain many years ago by Frank Kalich from Dr. Tkachenko in Russia. Because it is sterile it must be a hybrid. Is it a natural hybrid, or one that originated in a Russian botanic garden?

"kopetdagensis hort."

$9

I believe this is actually a form of vicaria. White with a yellowish infusion. Unwinged. Unlike my other vicarias it is a reasonably good increaser.

magnifica

$10

Up to 12 flowers: white with some mauve. The mauve increases as the flower ages. Bright yellow blotch around its crest; sometimes orangish. Winged. Easy. Several forms are available with varying degrees of mauve infusion. If you order more than one, please let me know if you would like a selection different clones.

magnifica x willmottiana

$20

I have a number of nice clones. These are generally pale blue with a yellow-orange blotch on the fall. They are tall like magnifica and generally have at least 6 blooms.

magnifica var. Alba

$12

A selected pure white form without a hint of mauve.

nicolai

$35

Up to 3 flowers (typically 1): white to cream with a velvety ink red fall blade. The style arms have two dark red stripes along the mid-rib. Its crest varys from yellow to orange. Its pollen is bright yellow. Unwinged. Gorgeous. Its seeds have a white edge. Limited

orchioides (true)

$45

Up to 3 flowers: cream with a large orangish yellow tear-drop shaped blotch on its fall blade, and a very dissected crest. Its style lobes have an infusion of orangish yellow. Very widely winged. Limited

orchioides x bucharica

$20

Up to 4 flowers: yellow with a large orangish yellow tear-drop shaped blotch on its fall blade, and a dissected crest. Semi-winged. I obtained this from Bishkek Botanic garden as bucharica. More robust than orchioides. Limited

SINDPERS

$30

An almost legendary hybrid raised by Mr. Thomas Hoog in the 1890s. Flowers porcelain to pale azure-blue with sea-green. The orange crests are surrounded by greyish purple. Rather a difficult colour combination to describe. Ht. 7-10 cm I. aucheri (ex. I. sindjaris) x I. persica. Perhaps 1 available.

vicaria - typical form

$10

Up to 6 flowers: white with yellow blotch. Unwinged. Sometimes with a blue infusion, particularly in the standards. Seems slow to increase.

vicaria - Hodji-Obi-Garm

$12

A good form with some blue infusion. Slightly variable. These were collected by Janis Ruksans in 1982.

vicaria - Maihura

$25

Slightly variable tetraploid form from the Maihura river, Hissar mountain range, Tadjikistan. Nice form. Perhaps 1 available.

vicaria - Sangardak

$30

Georgeous colour and form. White infused with blue, and blue edge to the fall. The yellow blotch on the fall has some blue in it giving a greenish cast. From Sangardak, Hissar mountain range, S. Uzbekistan. Possibly 1 available.

vicaria - Witt

$10

Jean Witt raised this from collected seed under the name bucharica Alba. It may be a vicaria hybrid. It is semi-fertile; meaning it does set seed, but there's been no more than 7 seeds in a pod where as other vicarias have 20 or more per pod.

"vicaria - Nr. 419"

$8

10 bulbs were obtained from Janis Ruksans in 1997. They are, as he mentions in his catalog, actually hybrids between vicaria and magnifica. There is some variation between them, and some are fertile.

warleyensis

$50

Up to 3 flowers: gorgeous snow white with a light red-purple infusion on yellow blotched fall blade. Style arms are white. Unwinged. Possibly 1 available. Have you seen pictures of my crosses with magnifica?

WARLSIND

$10

Up to 3 flowers: white with a brown fall blade, and yellow around and on its crest. Unwinged. This is a hybrid.

"hybrid" from WARLSIND

$20

Up to 3 flowers: white background, with brown tiger stripes on top of a yellow fall blade. Unwinged. A lovely hybrid from bucharica x warleyensis or reverse. Note: this is the name Hoog & Dix is/was selling it under, but of course WARLSIND is sterile.

willmottiana Alba hort.

$10

Up to 9 flowers: white flowers with dark green markings. Dark green foliage. Unwinged. This is a hybrid.

"willmottiana hort."

$8

Up to 8 flowers: light blue flowers with a white fall blade and a touch of yellow just on the tip of its crest. Winged. This is a robust, easy hybrid. Likely magnifica x graeberiana.

willmottiana hort. Edmundas

$15

Lovely medium blue with a large orange blotch on the fall blade. The blotch fades to yellow as the flower ages. This is a hybrid, and one of its parents is clearly albomarginata.

willmottiana (true)

$40

Up to 6 flowers: absolutely gorgeous powder blue flowers with pure white blotch on the fall. Winged. Seems to be easy. Limited availability
