The cover subject for the spring 2006 issue of the Rock Garden Quarterly
will be Iris cristata. I searched the archives for an appropriate article
to reprint and found nothing except a 1982 piece by Roy Davidson, which is
mostly devoted to comparing the species with other crested irises.

Would someone like to write up a current view of Iris cristata, with
mention of the cultivars now available? Davidson mentions 'White Pearl',
'McDonald', 'Millard', 'Whisper', 'Crested Ivory', 'Skylands', 'Crested
Fairy', 'Gold Crest', and "Abbeys Violet' as having been grown. I remember
seeing the last named. Are any of the others still in gardens? Are there
new ones now in commerce?

Perhaps one of you can write about these, or direct me to someone who can?

Thanks much,
Jane McGary

I wrote an article for SIGNA last year about an "iris hunting" trip where
I
found a fabulous population of Iris cristata blooming amongst Aquilegia
canadensis and Cypripedium sp. in southern Ohio. It was just a one-page
article, but I included lots of great photos. My favorite was a flower
that had falls that actually drooped rather than flare outwards. It
reminded me of a dwarf Iris tectorum.

Anyway, being in SIGNA I know quite a few folks growing (and selling)
modern cultivars of Iris cristata. I'll see if I can stir up any support
for your RGQ issue. If you want to use any of my photos, I'll be happy to
share them.

Hello All:

I was asked permission to use my Wiki photos in a wikipedia, I gave
written
consent to place them in the public domain and requested to see the
results.
In the wikipedia I am given credit for the photos and my release to the
public domain is also presented. When I began putting photos on the Wiki
pages, I did so with the idea that they are essentially in the public
domain
whether I officially release them or not.

Wet and mild; repotting lily seedlings as weather permits.
