Canadian Iris Society Newsletter 1 President’s Report By Ed Jowett fter reading the articles on hybridizing I have decided to give it a try. I collected 2 seed pods; a MDB Pokemon Ahad 53 seeds the other a SDB Crystal Carpet had 27 seeds. I have placed them in the freezer for a waiting period before planting. I would like to know if any of our members are intersted in starting a seed bank for exchange or sale. If you are drop me a letter or email. (info inside front cover) I am pleased to announce this year’s “Walker Ross” award was presented to the Granatier’s. Thanks Ann & Bob for all your hard work and contribution for the benefit of the Society. As I write this message I have an Iris blooming (Autmn Tryst). It came into bloom Oct 27th or 28th while I was in surgery; a pleasant surprise to come home too. I have another IB Bottled Sunshine showing the tips yellow as of Nov 5th. On Nov 9th the weather forcast was for -9 C so I rushed out and cut the rest of Bottled Sunshine and brought them in the house to see if they would bloom. One did but not to healthy. The rest have remained buds and look like they will die. Autumn Tryst The comments and statements in this bulletin are those of the writers and not necessary those of the board or society. 2 Canadian Iris Society Newsletter I am also looking for a picture of the Iris Honey Haze; if anyone has a picture could you please send me a copy. At our annual meeting John Moons gave a very interesting presentation on variegated plants. With this crazy weather it is hard to tell if some plants are truly rebloomers of just confused with the weather; however winter is just around the corner. I have perrenials blooming. I had never seen bloom in the fall, never mind now. Bottled Sunshine I see a problem in the not too far future and don’t know what will happen. Most of us are getting up where soon we will not be able to garden and the younger generation seems to have no interest; even those raised on the farms. I can see where food supply will all be imported and thus we loose fresh fruits and vegetables – and flowers are almost extinct. We have included the A.I.S. Convention application form as the center section so it can be used as a pullout. They are wanting all registrations by March (not really that far away). The 2019 convention will be held in California. (Note it is $USD) Our iris purchase this year was not as good as in past years and at the moment I am awaiting a listing of those possibilities for 2018 which will include a lot more newly introduced cultivars; so I will be looking to put together a new selection and listing. I received a letter from a lady in the UK wanting to know where she could order irises to have shipped to a freind in Alberta. I replied to her telling her it was way off- season. Then I remebered reading in the British Iris Society’s newsletter autmn issue of their shows. They have 3 per year. They have an early Spring show in February; then a late spring at the end of April, and a summer show in late May or early June. (Usually when looking for something, we don’t think of time or seasonal differences.) Ed Jowett Here's a little humour... 1.) I’m not always correct but if I agreed with you we both would be wrong 2.) What do you call a witch’s garage? (answer on page 5) Canadian Iris Society Newsletter 3 Musings From Manitoba By: B. J. Jackson ([email protected]) ovember 1st and the first snow of any consequence is currently falling in SW Manitoba. It has been a topsy turvy autumn with the first Nkilling frost not happening in my gardens until well into October. This afforded this gardener plenty of time to get the garden cleaned up, cut back and the mulch put down on the new plants. It does appear though that I added an alarming number of iris, seemingly of all types and classes. The most excitement of this year’s buying frenzy has to be the 7 new spuria added. Included in this number are two that are my portion of a club purchase from Oregon that will be tested in 10 CWIS gardens over the next few years in both Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Success in growing this class of iris has been patchy at best amongst club members. So this project, first hatched at the AIS convention in Des Moines with casual conversations with Dave Silverberg and Nancy Price, was brought to fruition just a few short months later. All participants are excited about this test and were actively recording and discussing their planting and growth observations so far. A number of the participants have also added other spuria from different sources that arrived earlier and later than the Oregon ones to see if there was any difference in survival with the staggered planting dates of late July, mid-August and early September. We hope to learn a lot more about growing spuria iris in the cold zones (zones 2 and 3) in the next few years and be able to provide this information to club members, other iris growers and even commercial suppliers since there is very little information out there right now. Most conversations start with “It should be ...” or “It has to be ...” but apparently nobody knows for sure. I managed to get half of the new garden revamped, amended and replanted this summer. With the neighbour’s 5 huge poplar trees now gone, the area is now in full sun all day. This makes me hopeful that performance will be enhanced. The downside is winter coverage with leaves. I actually had to borrow some! 4 Canadian Iris Society Newsletter In CWIS news, 2018 marks our 15th anniversary. We have certainly come a long way from a gathering of 7 gardeners sharing a beverage at a down town Winnipeg legion hall! Planning of the celebration events are underway. The club’s newsletter, The Aurora, celebrated 10 years this year, too, so it is only fitting that I have embarked on a 10 year retrospective of club members yearlybtop performers.

For the purpose of the study, 97 clonal plants of the rhizomatous herb I. variegata that experienced different light conditions in their two native habitats were selected: one along the top and slope of sand dunes and one in woodland understories. Two fully expanded leaves that had developed during spring, summer and fall in two consecutive years were sampled from each of these clones. Six leaf traits affecting the photosynthetic rate of a plant − morphological (specific leaf area), anatomical (stomatal density) and physiological (total chlorophyll concentration, chlorophyll a/chlorophyll b ratio, carotenoid concentration, chlorophyll a/carotenoid ratio) exhibited significant plastic responses in the two different light habitats. To test whether these traits differ between exposed and shaded habitats as well as during different vegetation periods, we used the repeated model analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results of the repeated ANOVA revealed statistically significant effects of year, habitat and period of vegetation season. Patterns of changes during growing seasons were year-specific for almost all analyzed traits. Key words: light conditions; seasonal change; I.

  • Iris Pallida This Species Iris, Also Know As Zebra Iris, Sweet Iris, Or Dalmatian Iris, Is a Very Old Garden Plant
    A Horticulture Information article from the Wisconsin Master Gardener website, posted 21 May 2007 Iris pallida This species iris, also know as Zebra Iris, Sweet Iris, or Dalmatian Iris, is a very old garden plant. Native to rocky areas of northern Italy and the Eastern Mediterranean (including Dalmatia, a province of Croatia, hence one of the common names), it was one of the primary species used in the development of the tall bearded iris. Its dried root (along with other species of Iris) is a source of orris root powder that was used medicinally or for its supposed magical and alchemical properties in medieval times, as well as a per- fume and potpourri fi xative for many centuries. It may take several years of drying for the root to fully develop its fragrance. Orris oil, derived from the fresh root, is used as a fl avoring Iris pallida ‘Aurea-variegata’ in bud in soft drinks, candies and chewing gum. The low clumps of sword-like leaves remain nearly evergreen in mild winter climates, but in Iris pallida ‘Argentea Variegata’ at cold areas the plant dies back to the ground like RHS Garden Wisley in England. other irises do. The thick foliage of the cultivars commonly offered as garden plants has elegant vertical stripes of blue-green and either silvery-white (‘Alba-vareigata’ or ‘Argentea Variegata’) or creamy yel- low to pale gold (“Aurea-variegata’ or ‘Variegata’), depending on the cultivar. The Iris pallida foliage. foliage of the species is not quite as attractive, being a solid bluish-green. The cultivars are grown primarily for their attractive striped leaves, although they do produce pretty lav- ender-blue fl owers with small yellow beards in early summer on 3 foot tall scapes.

  • Flowering Plants of South Norwood Country Park
    Flowering Plants Of South Norwood Country Park Robert Spencer Introduction South Norwood Country Park relative to its size contains a wide range habitats and as a result a diverse range of plants can be found growing on site. Some of these plants are very conspicuous, growing in great abundance and filling the park with splashes of bright colour with a white period in early May largely as a result of the Cow Parsley, this is followed later in the year by a pink period consisting of mainly Willow herbs. Other plants to be observed are common easily recognisable flowers. However there are a great number of plants growing at South Norwood Country Park that are less well-known or harder to spot, and the casual observer would likely be surprised to learn that 363 species of flowering plants have so far been recorded growing in the park though this number includes invasive species and garden escapes. This report is an update of a report made in 2006, and though the site has changed in the intervening years the management and fundamental nature of the park remains the same. Some plants have diminished and some have flourished and the high level of diversity is still present. Many of these plants are important to other wildlife particularly in their relationship to invertebrate pollinators, and some of these important interactions are referenced in this report. With so many species on the plant list there is a restriction on how much information is given for each species, with some particularly rare or previously observed but now absent plants not included though they appear in the index at the back of the report including when they were last observed.

Hussein* Department of Biology, College of science for women, University of Babylon, Iraq. Abstract A current investigation was conducted to screen the phytochemical compounds of the Dutch Iris (Iris hollandica) by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) Technique. The detection of phytochemical mixtures was relied on the four important factors, as following: the retention time, the molecular weight, the peak area, and the molecular structure. The aim of the study was analysis and detected of phytochemical compounds that present in Iris hollandica by means of a Technique of gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Examination of Iris hollandica disclosed the presence of twenty of phytochemical compounds as following: (D-Glucose, 6-O--D-galactopyranosyl-, Dodecanoic acid, 3-hydroxy-, Tertbutyloxyformamide, N-methyl-N-[4-(1-pyrrolidinyl,)], -D-Glucopyranose, 4-O--D-galactopyranosyl- (1-pyrrolidinyl), 2, 4-Dimethylhexanedioic acid, 1-Nitro-2-acetamido-1, 2-dideoxy-d-mannitol, D-Alanine, N-propargyloxycarbonyl - tridecyl ester, D-Alanine, -D-Glucopyranoside, O--glucopyranosyl-(1.fw), Methyl 6-oxoheptanoate, 3-Trifluoroacetoxydodecane, l-Gala-l-ido-octonic lactone, N-methyl-N-4-[1-(pyrrolidinyl)-2-butynyl], -D-Glucopyranoside, O--D-Glucopyranosyl-(1.fw), 9-Hexadecenoic acid, 9, 12, 15-Octadecatrienoic acid, 2, 3-bis (acetyloxy), 1-Hexadecanol, 2-methyl-, 2H-Indeno[1,2-b]furan- 2-one, 3,3a,4,5,6,7,8,8b-o, d-Allo-dec-2-enonic acid, 5, 8-anhydro-2, 3, 4, 9-tetra, E-8-Methyl-7-dodecen-1-ol acetate, and 1- Hexadecanol, 2-methyl-).

A striking feature of the Mediterranean flora concerns the high rates of narrow endemism within many regions. The prevailing paradigm for the evolution of such endemism relies on an important role of geographic isola- tion and allopatric speciation. Until recently there has been little work on the precise ecological differences among endemic plants and their congeners in the Mediterranean region and the potential role of ecological spe- cialisation in isolation and speciation. This paper has two objectives. First, we evaluate general ecological dif- ferences among endemic and widespread congeners in the flora of the western Mediterranean. The results and review of the literature attest to consistent patterns of ecological differentiation among endemic species and their more widespread congeners. Second, we present results of a detailed study of morphological, molecular and ecological differentiation in a group of spring-flowering Mediterranean Cyclamen species.

  • New Perspectives on Medicinal Properties and Uses of Iris Sp
    Hop and Medicinal Plants, Year XXIV, No. 1-2, 2016 ISSN 2360 – 0179 print, ISSN 2360 – 0187 electronic NEW PERSPECTIVES ON MEDICINAL PROPERTIES AND USES OF IRIS SP. CRIŞAN Ioana, Maria CANTOR* Faculty of Horticulture, University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Manastur Street 3-5, 400372 Cluj-Napoca, Romania *corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract. Rhizomes from various Iris species have been used in traditional medicine to treat a variety of ailments since ancient times and many constituents isolated from different Iris species demonstrated potent biological activities in recent studies. All research findings besides the increasing demand for natural ingredients in cosmetics and market demand from industries like alcoholic beverages, cuisine and perfumery indicate a promising future for cultivation of irises for rhizomes, various extracts but most importantly for high quality orris butter. Romania is situated in a transitional continental climate with suitable conditions for hardy iris species and thus with good prospects for successful cultivation of Iris germanica, Iris florentina and Iris pallida in conditions of economic efficiency. Key words: Iris, medicinal plant, orris butter, rhizomes Introduction The common word “iris” that gave the name of the genus, originates from Greek designating “rainbow” presumably due to the wide variety of colors that these flowers can have (Cumo, 2013). The genus reunites about 300 species (Wang et al., 2010) with rhizomes or bulbs (Cantor, 2016). In Romanian wild flora can be met both naturalized and native species, some enjoying special protection, like Iris aphylla ssp. hungarica (Marinescu and Alexiu, 2013) that can be seen on the hills nearby Cluj-Napoca (Fig.
