Bob, Thanks for the summary and notes on species of the Genus Isis. Can you tell us what the difference or differences are between Iris cretensis (I. unguicularis ssp. cretensis) and I. carica ( I unguicularis ssp. carica.) Their ranges overlap and they seem similar. What separates them? Fred 2500 ft. elevation, central Sierra Nevada foothills, zone 7, where Iris unguicularis does very well and is now in fragrant bloom. > > > > _______________________________________________ > pbs mailing list > pbs@lists.ibiblio.org > http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php >
