Wow, Paige! What a stunner. Very different from the nicolai and rosenbachiana we grow out here...
We find them very sensitive to moisture, so growing them in the Pacific Northwest is a tour de force.... As some on this list are aware, I do a blog for the botanic gardens, the last one of which was on this very subject... http://www.botanicgardensblog.com/2011/02/18/and-even-more-early-blossoms/ And I just did one on Sternbergia candida (which is blooming modestly at my house but a bit more ostentatiously for Bill Adams of Sunscapes Nursery in Pueblo)....one I don't think you should miss! http://prairiebreak.blogspot.com/2011/02/candid-comments.html Headed to Seattle tomorrow for the better part of the week to judge their flower show and give a bunch of presentations: perhaps I will meet someone on the list there?

Yesterday all my Iris rosenbachiana Darwas strain were short green noses. Overnight one shot up and opened. Not to be outdone, one of my Iris rosenbachiana / nicolai promicrospecies produced two more flowers out of a hat. Photographs are here. http://botu07.bio.uu.nl/temperate/?gal=alpenpix Why not show us signs of spring where you are? It is astoundingly easy to upload pictures to Alpenpix. The Upload button is on the left. http://botu07.bio.uu.nl/temperate/?gal=alpenpix Paige _______________________________________________ Alpine-l mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/alpine-l
