Would you check out the scrapbook and Tue, 27 Oct 2009 21:40:06 GMT Ken Walkup http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/sibrob/message/5436 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/sibrob/message/5436 Anja, Sorry to be so slow in replying. About seeds of your I. sibirica clone: even if there are other plants nearby which can potentially cross with it, you Wed, 21 Oct 2009 18:17:38 GMT Anja Pansin/Wolfgang Zirkel http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/sibrob/message/5435 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/sibrob/message/5435 Hi Ken, yes, I do know the SIGNA seed exchange and I have already ordered seeds twice (my third order is in the mail). I had a very high germination rate with Mon, 19 Oct 2009 22:34:31 GMT Ken Walkup http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/sibrob/message/5434 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/sibrob/message/5434 Anja, Do you know about SIGNA? www.signa.org Those of us who are into species irises might like to have some seeds from the sibirica parent.

I am sorry, I did not take a picture of it. Hopefully the seedlings will bloom in Sun, 18 Oct 2009 22:28:52 GMT Ken Walkup http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/sibrob/message/5432 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/sibrob/message/5432 Anja, Could be interesting. Here Be Dragons has a good dose of sibirica in it, so the seedlings will probably have small flowers and a good bud count.

I suppose I can not take them out of the pots without disturbing the roots. So I will follow your advice and leave them in the pots Sat, 17 Oct 2009 21:45:37 GMT Ken Walkup http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/sibrob/message/5429 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/sibrob/message/5429 Anja, My experience, in USDA zone 5 (central NY state), is that you would be better off holding them in the pots they are in now through the winter, and Fri, 16 Oct 2009 22:10:06 GMT irischapman@... http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/sibrob/message/5428 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/sibrob/message/5428 They should be fine if they can be poped out of the pots without disturbing roots.
