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. -

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. -

LATVIA /fax +371 – 641-64-003 +371 - 29-41-84-40, 641-00-326 All prices for single bulb E-mail: [email protected] in EURO Dear friends! I wish you all the best in the New Gardening Year and private life and I truly hope that you all will be satisfied with my bulbs this year as always. It is 20th Anniversary for my Export catalogue. I started with small list of 20 items in 1990. Now I could offer 900 names, but my catalogue isn’t from rubber, the same is with packing shed, so I was forced hardly check my offers and I striped out in the list item after item up to 597 names left. So if you very want something special offered in earlier years or even never before offered - you can ask and although I can’t promise but I will try to fulfil your wishes. Last year was not easy for me. In August, when I packed my orders, I thought that I would be happy if I would edit this one, Jubilee catalogue and it will be my last. Now I’m much more optimistic and I hope for more years ahead. May be in future I will make home-page and will print only modest list without pictures, but will see… In garden season was not easy, too. Again rodents shortened my collection for 12 of my tulip hybrids, 180 sq. -

The Xanthorrhoeaceae has the largest representation with 10 genera and 99 species. Most are endemic with a few species of Lomandra and Romnalda extending to neighbouring islands. The family includes the spectacular blackboys and grass-trees. The Iridaceae is largely represented by naturalised species with 52 of the 78 species being introduced. Many of the introductions are ornamentals and several have become serious weeds. Patersonia is the largest genus with all 17 species endemic. Some of these are cultivated as ornamentals. The Dioscoreaccae is a family of economic significance, particularly in the old world tropics where some species are cultivated or collected for their tubers and bulbils. In Australia there are 5 species, one of which is a recent introduction. The endemic and native species, commonly known as yams, are traditionally eaten by the Aborigines. -
