Pollination - Iris Sari
Brian Whyer via pbs (Sat, 09 Apr 2022 05:28:30 PDT)

Hi Paul

Thank you for the reply. My single flower is now over and shrivelled. I
tried microwaving the pollen, over 2-3 days, from each segment, and self
pollinating. Nothing to lose. All I can say at present is the pod/stem
of the flower still has some substance and has not shrivelled, unlike a
single I. magnifica flower that was out around the same time.. Watch
this space ;-)
Best wishes, Brian

Dear Brian,
I may be able to help - unless holidays get in the way! My Iris
sprengeri
came into flower today and, judging by its bud, I suspect that I.
iberica
will be flowering in about a week's time. Having been gently feeling
the
bases of my Iris, I am totally confident that my I. sari has a bud, but
it
is not yet exposed. That suggests to me that it is likely to flower in
about 3 weeks' time - but I am on holiday from 28 April until 9 May!
Should it flower while I am here, I would be very pleased to let you
have
some pollen. My plant came from Plantworld Holland in 2019, but my
records
suggest that this will be its first flowering. I am based in Emsworth,
Hampshire.
Best wishes,
Paul
Dr Paul Chapman
