British Iris Society Seed Scheme 2019 – 2020 British Iris Society Seed Scheme 2019 – 2020 Seed Distribution Officer: Christine Jarvis 3 Millbrook Close, Blewbury, Didcot, Oxon, OX11 9QL [email protected] 01235 851896 Thank you to all the seed donors who have provided the seed for this BIS Seed Scheme. 1 Members of the British Iris Society may apply for up to 40 packets of seeds. 2 The cost of seeds is £5 for up to 10 packets and £5 for each additional 10 packets (maximum £20). This cost is inclusive of postage and packing. 3 Payment for seed may be made by cheque (in Sterling) payable to the British Iris Society and enclosed with order or online using the PayPal account. 4 Orders should be sent to Christine Jarvis at the above address. An order form can be found at the back of this seed list. 5 A fair division of seeds will be made as soon as possible in January 2020. Requests will be dealt with in the order in which they were received. 6 Please order by number and retain this seed list for reference as seed will only be identified by the number on the packet. 7 Please include a sufficient number of substitutes as some seed is in short supply. 8 No responsibility can be accepted for the results as seed is obtained from many sources and it is not always possible to check the accuracy of naming. 9 Much of the seed on the list is open pollinated so it cannot be guaranteed to be true to name. Where seed has been collected from a named cultivar, the seedlings are unlikely to be identical to the parent. Where an 'x' appears before the cultivar name only the pod parent is known. The abbreviations 'dip' and ‘tet’ stand for diploid and tetraploid. 10 If you are ordering seeds from outside the UK, please check and comply with your country’s regulations covering seed importation to make sure than any request is not on your country’s list of banned imports. 11 Residual seed donated to the 2018 scheme is also included in this list and is marked as (2018). 1 THE GENUS IRIS 1.

  • Using Beautiful Flowering Bulbous (Geophytes) Plants in the Cemetery Gardens in the City of Tokat
    J. Int. Environmental Application & Science, Vol. 11(2): 216-222 (2016) Using Beautiful Flowering Bulbous (Geophytes) Plants in the Cemetery Gardens in the City of Tokat Kübra Yazici∗, Hasan Köse2, Bahriye Gülgün3 1Gaziosmanpaşa University Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Horticulture, 60100, Taşlıçiftlik, Tokat, Turkey; 2 Celal Bayar University Alaşehir Vocational School Alaşehir; Manisa; 3Ege University Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Horticulture, 35100 Bornova, Izmir, TURKEY, Received March 25, 2016; Accepted June 12, 2016 Abstract: The importance of public green areas in urban environment, which is a sign of living standards and civilization, increase steadily. Because of the green areas they exhibit and their spiritual atmosphere, graveyards have importance. With increasing urbanization come the important duties of municipalities to arrange and maintain cemeteries. In recent years, organizations independent from municipalities have become interested in cemetery paysage. This situation has made cemetery paysage an important sector. The bulbous plants have a distinctive role in terms of cemetery paysage because of their nice odours, decorative flowers and the ease of maintenance. The field under study is the city of Tokat which is an old city in Turkey. This study has been carried out in various cemeteries in Tokat, namely, the Cemetery of Şeyhi-Şirvani, the Cemetery of Erenler, the Cemetery of Geyras, the Cemetery of Ali, and the Armenian Cemetery. Field observation have been carried out in terms of the leafing and flowering times of bulbous plants. At the end of the study, in designated regions in the before-mentioned cemeteries bulbous plants that naturally grow in these regions have been evaluated. In the urban cemeteries, these flowers are used the most: tulip, irises, hyacinth, daffodil and day lily (in decreasing order of use).

  • Weed Risk Assessment for Iris Pseudacorus L. (Iridaceae)
    Weed Risk Assessment for Iris United States pseudacorus L. (Iridaceae) – Yellow Department of flag iris Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service September 24, 2013 Version 1 Left: Iris pseudacorus flower. Right: A colony of Iris pseudacorus (source: Bugwood, 2013). Agency Contact: Plant Epidemiology and Risk Analysis Laboratory Center for Plant Health Science and Technology Plant Protection and Quarantine Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service United States Department of Agriculture 1730 Varsity Drive, Suite 300 Raleigh, NC 27606 Weed Risk Assessment for Iris pseudacorus Introduction Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) regulates noxious weeds under the authority of the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. § 7701-7786, 2000) and the Federal Seed Act (7 U.S.C. § 1581-1610, 1939). A noxious weed is defined as “any plant or plant product that can directly or indirectly injure or cause damage to crops (including nursery stock or plant products), livestock, poultry, or other interests of agriculture, irrigation, navigation, the natural resources of the United States, the public health, or the environment” (7 U.S.C. § 7701-7786, 2000). We use weed risk assessment (WRA)— specifically, the PPQ WRA model (Koop et al., 2012)—to evaluate the risk potential of plants, including those newly detected in the United States, those proposed for import, and those emerging as weeds elsewhere in the world. Because the PPQ WRA model is geographically and climatically neutral, it can be used to evaluate the baseline invasive/weed potential of any plant species for the entire United States or for any area within it. As part of this analysis, we use a stochastic simulation to evaluate how much the uncertainty associated with the analysis affects the model outcomes.

  • Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese

The group met with the leader Paul at Malaga airport, having arrived on various flights from the UK. We made our way from the arrivals hall to the multi-storey car park, where our minibus was waiting. Leaving the airport, we drove west and then north towards Alhaurin de la Torre, stopping in an area of open Pine forest for an early inspection of the local flora, which did not disappoint. Aristolochia baetica (a Birthwort), Teucrium fruticans (Tree Germander), Ophrys tenthredinifera (Sawfly Orchid), Ophrys ciliata (Mirror Orchid) and Phlomis purpurea were all seen. In addition, Spanish Festoon was spotted and Serin was also heard. Moving on, we stopped at the top of a hill, overlooking Malaga, for our picnic, and a Hoopoe flew over as we parked. Great Tit and Blackcap were heard and several more spikes of Ophrys ciliata were found, as well as Ononis natrix (Yellow Restharrow), Gynandriris sisyrinchium (Barbary Nut) and Vinca difformis (Perriwinkle). We continued our journey on through Alhaurin el Grande, Coin and on up to El Burgo, one of the ‘White Villages’, for which Andalucia is famous.

    The Scottish Rock Garden Club SHOW REPORTS STIRLING in Kincardine SHOW 2012 Best Plant in the Show - Forrest Medal Trillium rivale ‘Purple Heart’ shown by Cyril Lafong Fifers win in Fife! The Trillium was part of Cyril's 3 pan entry in Class 1 along with Primula 'Broadwell Milkmaid' and Tecophilaea cyanocrocus leich- tlinii. ' Broadwell Milkmaid' was judged Best Primula, taking the Spiller Trophy and also the Ben Ledi Trophy for Best European plant in the show. The Trillium was Best Non European plant and it won the Institute of Quarrying Quaich. The Bronze Medal and the Fife County Trophy for Most Points in section 2 was won by SRGC President Liz Mills. The show was held this year in Kincardine in Fife in a good venue, an old school which has been converted into a community centre. It is central in the town which is easily reached by road from most parts of Scotland as ‘all roads lead to the Kincardine Bridge’! [ the M90, M80 & M876 anyway!] When it started 30 years ago, the Stirling show was gifted the trophies from then defunct Dun- fermline show, which explains why so many of the trophies have names associated with Fife, Carnegie and min- ing. It is nice to see them being awarded in Fife once more and to Fifers, as Cyril lives in Glenrothes and Liz in Saline. As you can see the show hall was brightly lit and the benches well filled in the new venue. These pictures were taken during judging when it was nice and quiet. The yellow verticals are covers on the iron pillars in the hall.

  • Iris Sibirica and Others Iris Albicans Known As Cemetery
    Iris Sibirica and others Iris Albicans Known as Cemetery Iris as is planted on Muslim cemeteries. Two different species use this name; the commoner is just a white form of Iris germanica, widespread in the Mediterranean. This is widely available in the horticultural trade under the name of albicans, but it is not true to name. True Iris albicans which we are offering here occurs only in Arabia and Yemen. It is some 60cm tall, with greyish leaves and one to three, strongly and sweetly scented, 9cm flowers. The petals are pure, bone- white. The bracts are pale green. (The commoner interloper is found across the Mediterranean basin and is not entitled to the name, which continues in use however. The wrongly named albicans, has brown, papery bracts, and off-white flowers). Our stock was first found near Sana’a, Yemen and is thriving here, outside, in a sunny, raised bed. Iris Sibirica and others Iris chrysographes Black Form Clumps of narrow, iris-like foliage. Tall sprays of darkest violet to almost black velvety flowers, Jun-Sept. Ht 40cm. Moist, well drained soil. Part shade. Deepest Purple which is virtually indistinguishable from black. Moist soil. Ht. 50cm Iris chrysographes Dykes (William Rickatson Dykes, 1911, China); Section Limniris, Series Sibericae; 14-18" (35-45 cm), B7D; Flowers dark reddish violet with gold streaks in the signal area giving it its name (golden writing); Collected by E. H. Wilson in 1908, in China; The Gardeners' Chronicle 49: 362. 1911. The Curtis's Botanical Magazine. tab. 8433 in 1912, gives the following information along with the color illustration.

  • Ulster Group Newsletter 2013.Pdf
    Newsletter No:12 Contents:- Editorial Obituaries Contributions:- Notes on Lilies Margaret and Henry Taylor Some Iris Species David Ledsham 2nd Czech International Rock Garden Conference Kay McDowell Homage to Catalonia Liam McCaughey Alpine Cuttings - or News Items Show News:- Information:- Web and 'Plant of the Month' Programme 2013 -2014 Editorial After a long cold spring I hope that all our members have been enjoying the beautiful summer, our hottest July for over 100 years. In the garden, flowers, butterflies and bees are revelling in the sunshine and the house martins, nesting in our eaves, are giving flying displays that surpass those of the Red Arrows. There is an emphasis ( almost a fashion) in horticultural circles at the moment on wild life gardening and wild flower meadows. I have always felt that alpines are the wild flowers of the mountains, whether growing in alpine meadows or nestling in among the rocks. Our Society aims to give an appreciation and thus the protection and conservation of wild flowers and plants all over the world. Perhaps you have just picked up this Newsletter and are new to the Society but whether you have a window pot or a few acres you would be very welcome to join the group and find out how much pleasure, in many different ways, these mountain wild flowers can bring. My thanks to our contributors this year who illustrate how varied our interest in plants can be. Not only did the Taylors give us a wonderful lecture and hands-on demonstration last November but kindly followed it up with an article for the Newsletter, and I hope that many of you, like me, have two healthy little pots of lily seedlings thanks to their generous gift of seeds.
