| You get snow????? Aww, the poor little thing! |
|
|||
| poor little baby you can see it frozen and sad! Great shot. How much snow do you receive about a year? Here most years just a little other years quite a bite but nothing like Polly on the other coast. No snow shovels here thankfully D |
|
|||
| Yes, we average between 200-300 inches a year. |
|

| This pics is from last winter. I found it in my digital pics and wanted to share with you. Of course it is not snowing now.. I think that we have a climate like Oregon one. Now it's becoming chilly during night and morning. We have very little snow now during winter but still have some (an cannot give you figures as you do)... C.

| http://www.iris-bulbeuses.org/bulletin/141-23.htm A blue garden, letter with a neophyte Irises and Bulbous n° 141 p 23-24. (2001). TRANSLATION OF THE 2001 ARTICLE BY SYVAIN RUAUD PUBLISHED BY THE SFIB “Dear friend, “You would like to arrange in your garden a pretty edge of iris. I approve this intention completely because, with the irises, you can set up, indeed, something of very simple and very spectacular. “Since you have the chance that your garden presents a light angle of rest, you can benefit from this opportunity to carry out a kind of small amphitheatre where, with a dozen varieties of iris, you will obtain a completely pleasant edge with the eye. “I propose the diagram opposite to you. The line of five plants is at highest, and the line of three, with low. Kind you will be able to admire together and with an effect of relief remarkable the set of your irises. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 “But which varieties to choose? With my opinion such a floor will give all its effect with plants of the same tone or, more exactly, in a pallet of close colours. I advise you, for example, to realize garden blue, because, in the semi-shade of your garden, it is this colour which will make the best effect, a little cold, certainly, but so refined! “In 1, I propose the variety “Yaquina Blue to you†(Schreiner 92) which is an iris navy blue, with large undulated flowers all, perfectly drawn, and of an alleviating color. Its neighbor, in 2, could be this splendid amoena which is called “Large Sierra†(Schreiner 92), with white petals of snow, and undulated sepals, blue means, clearing up himself towards the edge and decorated of a bluish white beard. In the middle of the line, allons-y for a very white iris; but not any! Let us choose an excellent and original variety: “Mesmerizer†(Byers 91). This iris is very white, but at the end of the barbs it develops appendices greenish white, like small light and gracious wings which return this flower out of the commun run. In 4, you could put a flower which resembles “Large Sierraâ€, but which is presented in the opposite combination: coloured petals, white sepals. Take “Sacred Waters†(Engelen 97), a variety obtained in Belgium, which confers an additional originality to him, and which has petals blue-mauve, above quite white sepals where the beard, also white, is done discrete. All that is nicely corrugated, on robust stems. For site 5, I propose a French variety, “Hurricane to you†(Cayeux 96), which joined the blue of “Yaquina Blueâ€, a little more mauve, with an almost white beard. “Let us tackle the second line! In 6, you can put the pretty Italian iris which is called “Azzurra†(Bianco 96). As its name lets it think, it is about a flower of a blue rather sharp azure, with flexible undulations and which gives a multitude of buttons, which ensures one long period of flowering: one of the most beautiful blue irises than I know. For site 7, let us return in an American variety, “Rippling River†(Schreiner 95), a navy blue at the slightly curly edges, which flowers also much. “South Sea†(Cayeux 97) is a deep with clearer barbs, remarkable blue iris by its colour very as much as by its perfect form and its floribondity, you cannot find better for the n° 8. Let us finish the line by another French iris, “Claude Louis Gayrard†(Ransom 96), a blue lavender silver plated, a little large perhaps but of a single color with perfectly formed and undulated flowers. “The first rank was clear in the center and dark with the wings. The second, contrary was darker in the center than at the edge. For the row of bottom, you can find another provision of the colors. In 10, thus put “Sixtine Cayeux†(Cayeux 94) which is a flower with dominant white, but at the edges of the sepals becoming blue purplished, with beards color minium, which gives the prickly one to the unit. This large variety will make wonder in your edge. For the heart of this line, in 11, I invite you to choose “Illulisat†(Muska 95). This variety comes us from Slovakia, and it is a splendour: entirely blue glacier (its name means “ice floe†in language inuit), but its barbs, tangerine, decorate appendices, or rather of really blue spurs. It is a plant of high size, but very solid on its stem. Finally to finish in beauty, return to an iris of France, “Rebecca Perret†(Cayeux 92), which is a chief of work in tons pastel, with white petals, above sepals clear blue lavender whose center is cleared up until joining the white of the petals; add a beard minium, to animate the whole. “All these irises flower about at the same time. That would present the disadvantage of limiting the period when these flowered plants are seen if they did not have all a great number of buttons, but the advantage is that you will have a solid mass of an effect seizing during at least three weeks. “This small round of the world of the irises, in blue and white, would have, dear friend, to flatter your taste of the beautiful things and to answer your wish to have a successful garden.†A very good piece of advice from Sylvain, isn't?

| Clusiana, Do you still want the Richard Cayeux article translated? The one titled "A Century of Great Iris France"? Greg |
|

| Hi Greg, Nice to see you around. The article 'A century of Great Iris in France' went to the babelfish shaker but I am sure that things have to be corrected and it would be very nice if you could do it properly and we, Sylvain and I would greatly appreciate (it is already on the irises cubit). What do you think of the text here above? If I may and if you agree Greg, next time I think some article could be of some interest for the members of the Iris cubit I will send you a Cmail to let you know first. C.

| I deleted this as to not confuse everyone. Translating is a funny business. Editing is quantum leap as you try to translate the intent. |

| Ok, how about an edited version? This should be easier to read. :) A century of great French Iris Bulbous Iris and No. 128 p 6-9. (1998). (1998). Richard Cayeux The twentieth century has been marked in France and worldwide, by a prodigious development of hybrid irises, especially those so-called "great" because they are the ones who floral stalks grow the highest. Today the breeders of the United State hold the upper hand, but this has not always been the case. France, in fact, has held its place in this competition, during this century. - Hegemony Until the late 30s, we can say that France was the land of Iris. In this matter, only the English competed with her. The Americans were still in their early stages, most often with plants from France. At the beginning of the 20th century, the house of Vilmorin won first iris tetraploid, larger, more vigorous than the diploids. 'Isoline' (tan / pink), 'Tamerlane' (lavender tan) and especially 'Alcazar' (purple), in 1910, gave their time and got a deserved worldwide success. 'Dejazet', another of Vilmorin’s iries, a cinnamon and garnet, with a rich genetic potential has been used by nearly all the breeders of the time. Other success stories include 'Director Pinelli' (1932) and 'Manoir de Launay' (1936) , but this marked the end of the era for Vilmorin. At the same time the houses of Denis and Millet were also active and successful. Then came Ferdinand Cayeux . The progress of this breeder has become an artform. His iris have garnered worldwide fame and many of his varieties have been used by breeders everywhere. The proof is in the genes that can be found in a very large number of current varieties. These include, among others, ' Nene '(1928), a leading amoena' Nomblot MPP '(1929), one of the ancestors of yellow, with his younger brother' Golden Rain '(1931) 'Marquita (1931), ivory,' Jean Cayeux '(1931) color of honey and founder of the lineage of brown, tan, and bronze,' Mrs. Maurice Lassailly (1931), a parent neglecta many of two-tone, 'Aureau Mrs. Louis' (1934), pink purple plicata, founder of the lineage of plicata Schreiner ... At the time, the Cayeux catalog was written in English and was primarily addressed to the Americans. However, the start of World War II would put an end to French hegemony and make way for the American era. - Decline For twenty years (from the mid 1930s to the mid 1950s), France left the world leadership in Iris cultvization and simply grew varieties hybridized before the war and the latest U.S. import. It was not until 1945 that the work of Jean Cayeux started to show up to put the French back on the hybridizing map. This was because Rene Cayeux did not practice hybridization. Among his greatest successes, we must mention 'Princess Wolkonski', the very popular 'Mrs. Francis Debate' (1957) Rose, still present in the gardens. It is currently available by some mail order catalogs generalists. The Variegata 'Gay Tomboy (1958), also shows itself everywhere, as well as' Fire Dance' (1960) that can be described as beautiful brown. The activity of breeder Jean Cayeux did not end until the late 80s. In him, France found a niche in the Iris world in the early 1960s. - - The return home professionals ... Jean Cayeux course. These include 'Stuntman' (1969) variegata yellow and purple, ' Provence '(1977), a brilliant garnet plicata, and the series of iris introduced in 1978,' Falbala '(medium blue, red beard),' Karinka '(throat pigeon), ' May Snow '(white, red beard), and especially' Warlord '(purple two-tone) sire used extensively throughout the world and present in several catalogs in the USA. One of his recent accomplishments is the famous' Trade Winds '(1987) blue sepals broadly marked with white. Peter Anfosso with 'Lorenzaccio Medicis' biton brown-red, has proved since 1978, he had all the qualities of a great breeder. Since then, his iris have been continuously on the market. Examples are: "White Night (1980), pure white, 'Echo de France' (1984), a wonderful yellow amoena 'x Carmen' (1985), orange original 'Curry Night' (1987) "black", "Barocco" (1988), purple plicata 'Douce France' (1988), slate blue to red beard, 'Citizen' (1989) unique blend of raspberry and beige, 'Fondation Van Gogh' (1990), apricot amoena highly sought after, even in the United States, 'Myra' (1996) variegata buff and purple-black. In the early 90s, Lawrence Ransom starts to turn professional in the hybridization. Very eclectic, he operates in all categories, the larger standard for miniature and dwarf arilbreds. In the field of TBs, he got some very nice plants as " Opera Bouffe "(1992), light yellow-centered white sepals, ' Desires (1994), a pink peach unusual already widespread, ' Kalfayan Marie '(1995) or' Gayrard Claude-Louis '(1996) in these shades of purple so dear to the breeder. The originality of his research, the modernity of the flowers, made it known across the Atlantic as one of the breeders of the future. One can almost speak of professionalism about John Segui , who collected an impressive number of varieties and was amused to hybridize, with some panache, as his beautiful old gold Iris 'Doctor Gold' (1985) was considered the best range late in the contest in Florence in 1986. Earlier varieties like ' Trapel '(1982), Midnight Blue, and' La Belle Aude '(1982), pink, saw a real rise in popularity. 'Gold Rush' (1992) 'Domitian' (1993) were successful. Finally in '96, a new professional, Christian Lanthelme recorded three varieties of his own. amateurs and fans As for the amateur, Brun, founded in 1978 with its purple 'Lucinou' gets praise. Most recently, Jean Peyrard put on the market a lovely iris spurs' Ostrogoth (1994). Others, like Igor Fedoroff , from the 70s, who hybridize very interesting varieties that have never been recorded, though they merited the ' Aygade 'periwinkle purple red beard' of Sand 'Silver ', apricot infused wood-de-Rose,' Prince Valiant 'blue amoena. Lecaplain Bernard also had a lucky hand in particular with 'Niagara', 'Humbug' or 'Fiji' (presented at this year's criterium of Orleans). But there are probably many other talented amateurs, who remain anonymous ... France, to the forefront of Iris hybridizing? Probably not: the United States is and will remain king. But, iris breeders appear almost everywhere in the world, including deep in Central Asia, France has a collection of some of the best breeders. We will be able to report to the exhibition FRANCIRIS 2000 to be held at the Brocéliande Gardens, near Rennes. The largest possible number of French varieties of the past fifty years, registered or not, will be presented to the public to both elicit curiosity and admiration of iris fans. This is the first time that French production will be gathered together, and it will demonstrate the vitality and originality of the production of irises in our country. |

| It looks more like a dutch iris, did it have a bulb or roots? D |
|

| Hi Dee, It's a bulb, earlier than the dutch ones, flowering after the latifolia species (blue one). It is not a dutch. (tubular leaves) C.

| I noticed difference on the leaves (see pics of these iris latifolia on the SFIB link) http://www.iris-bulbeuses.org/forum/topic1531.htm where I have been aslking whhy, if they were both latifolia, leaves were different.

| I. latifolia is a new one to me. I've been looking at pictures on line and am having a difficult time telling it apart from Dutch types. I'm curious about its hardiness- wondering if they would be a more permanent choice for areas with cold winters. |

| Since I do not have this one, I hate to comment. But it is quite lovely. In October I will start posting pictures again. D |
