Hybrids Involving Iris danfordiae, sophenensis, and the Çat species
These are the earliest to bloom, starting right when the snow disappears. |
||
|
Debonair (00-JB-1) EUR 10.00 89-Q-7 x 96-SD-1 2010
A stunning combination of pale blue, yellow, green and white. Its falls are brushed pale blue turning green towards the ridge. The large centre area is yellow with a few green dots. Its style arms are very distinct, with the rib being light yellow, changing to light green on either side, and then light blue along the outer 1/5. The large style lobes are white. |
||
|
Down To Earth (94-AT-2) EUR 10.00 89-Q-4 x 89-AC-4 2009
Magnificent rich dark brown on a yellow ground, nicely accented with blue-green toned style arms that are tipped yellow-green. This Reticulata isn’t showy from a distance, but up close it is indeed magnificent. The various hues on the style arms give it a mysterious quality. Its standards have been reduced to yellow-green hairs only 0.5 mm in width but of normal length. |
||
|
Ice Cream (97-CK-3) EUR 20.00 89-Q-3 x 91-FC-1 New for 2012
A nice white with bold blue style ribs. The falls are slightly infused with soft yellow and a few blue dots. There are a few larger oblong dots around, and on, the yellow ridge. The standards reduced to half height 1 mm wide hairs. |
||
|
Jump For Joy (00-KV-1) EUR 20.00 91-FC Dark Blue x 96-SD-1 New for 2012
A lovely densely veined dark brown on a yellow background. The style arms are olive green, softly infused purple along their edge. The lobes are yellow blended green with brown veining. Its standards are reduced to short hairs due to its Iris danfordiae breeding. A real delight. |
||
|
Making Out (95-CS-1) EUR 15.00 89-AC-5 x 89-Q-7 2009
This one is very slightly greenish shaded white with lemon yellow ridge on falls and very sparse and narrow deep blue spots on sides. Style branches with large greenish blue mid-zone well contrasting with other parts. Its standards have been reduced to white hairs of normal length. |
||
|
Passion (98-PR-3) EUR 15.00 danfordiae Atilla x 88-AX-2 2010
A wonderful olive and yellow combination. Very unusual and striking. Its fall blade is olive overlaid on a bright yellow ground, with typical white areas beside its yellow ridge. This bright yellow and white area around the ridge contains numerous large olive blotches. The style arms are olive infused purple, while the lobes are olive with a touch of infusion around the edges. Its standards are reduced to hairs about 7mm long due to its Iris danfordiae heritage. |
||
|
Regal (98-NP-9) EUR 10.00 91-FC-7 x 88-AX-3 2009
An indescribably gorgeous violet-blue. I’ve never quite seen anything like it before. The style arm ribs are accented blue and have a white apex. The standards range between 1/2 to 1/3 of normal width and are respectively either pointed or cusped. |
||
|
Ruby (98-NP-3) EUR 10.00 91-FC-7 x 88-AX-3 2009
Lovely ruby colour on a yellow background. Somewhat darker or more intense around the fall ridge, with numerous large ruby blotches and veins filling the surrounding yellow. The style arms are lighter with violet tones in the ribs. Its standards are hair-like. Just brownish and pinkish shades adds special beauty to this flower. |
||
|
Sea Green (97-CQ-1) EUR 15.00 89-F-4 x 89-F-3 2009
You are either going to love this colour, or you are going to hate it. An amazing blue-green, with a hint of slightly darker veining. A yellow circle surrounds the ridge, which is filled with large dark blue-green dots. The style arms are infused with dark blue and plum while their lobes are similar to the fall. Normally we don’t like if a colour fades, but in this case, just before the flowers finish, much of the yellow comes out, leaving a lovely blue flower with only yellow surrounding the ridge. It’s quite something to see some of these blue flowers beside their green counterparts. |
||
|
Storm 98-NP-2 EUR 15.00 91-FC-7 x 88-AX-3 2009
Occasionally as a storm approaches dark, almost black, clouds stand out in stark contract to the surrounding sky. This Reticulata is similar. Bright yellow shines through very heavy black veining on its fall, which is offset by blue style arms with yellow-green ribs. Occasionally the blue appears slightly mauve. Its standards have been reduced to hairs only 0.5 mm wide and half their normal length. Incredible colour. |
||
|
Sunbeam (98-NP-7) EUR 15.00 91-FC-7 x 88-AX-3 2009
Stunning yellow and white bicolour! Falls are bright yellow lightening to cream at the edge. Highlighted by a few large green blotches. Style arms are white, with pale green ribs (sometimes dotted). Hair-like standards. Few. |

Hybrids NOT Involving Iris danfordiae
I tried to bring in new genetic material that no one else was using in their hybridizing. As you can see the Armenian Caucasus Reticulata was used quite extensively. |
||
|
All That Jazz (87-BN-1) EUR 15.00 Gordon' x Armenian Caucasus Retic New for 2012
This is one of Alan's first really good hybrids. It shows some of the possibilities of bring fresh blood into the Reticulata hybrid mix. One of the things you will notice right away is how large the flower parts are. The falls are dark purple with an amazing 1 mm wide bright yellow ridge. The ridge is surrounded on either side by pure white. The style arms and standards are significantly lighter in colour. Not just another purple. |
||
|
Bold 'N Beautiful (91-DR-2) EUR 6.00 Armenian Caucasica x histrioides Atilla 2009
One of the best hybrids raised by Alan McMurtrie from cross between Armenian I. reticulata caucasica with I. histrioides ‘Atilla’. Flowers large very dark lilac with falls deep purple with small yellow blotch. |
||
|
Darkness (90-BH-1) EUR 10.00 J.S. Dijt x {bakeriana + ?} 2009
Excellent hybrid from Alan McMurtrie of typical Iris reticulata flower form with something slimmer all parts of bloom. Standards and style branches bright reddish purple, falls near black with small creamy yellow ridge surrounded by tiny white zone, which contains a few near-black dots. |
||
|
Paris Flare (94-FL-5) EUR 15.00 87-AK-2 x ? 2011
A wonderfully unique looking Reticulata. It's purple in colour, with a pointed velvety fall blade. You'd almost swear the blade was indeed made of purple velvet. The area right around the fall ridge is darker, to the point of being black. The fall blade colour appears solid; without the typical white beside the end of the ridge. |
||
|
Turkish Delight (93-BY-7) EUR 6.00 87-BB-1 x 87-AQ-1 2009
Flowers of classical I. reticulata form and reddish violet shade throughout all flower parts only around the falls ridge the colour changes to blue. The ridge itself is a striking bright yellow, which bleeds into the fall making the ridge appear very wide. Raised by Alan McMurtrie. |
||
|
Velvet Smile (87-CQ-3) EUR 7.00 Armenian Caucasus Retic x {Van Eeden Blue & 'J.S. Dijt'} 2009
Alan McMurtrie crossed the Armenian I. reticulata caucasica (from lake Sevan) with an unregistered blue hybrid from William van Eeden. In my opinion it is far better then all other traditional cultivars. Flowers are very large, with bluish-purple standards and very deep purple falls marked with bright orange-yellow ridge surrounded by white stripes. |
||
|
Violet Mystery (92-CG-1) EUR 8.00 Armenian Caucasus Retic x histrioides Atilla New for 2010
A delightful dark violet with bright yellow ridge. From a cross between the Armenian I. reticulata caucasica (from lake Sevan) and I. histrioides. |

|
Juno Iris
I've been hybridizing Juno Irises for many years, but because of the genetic diversity of the species, I haven't had nearly the same level of success that that I've had with Reticulatas. Over the years I've created some wonderful hybrids and I'm glad to at long last have some of them available commercially. |
||
|
Awesome (97-HW) EUR 15.00 magnifica x vicarica Sangardak New for 2012
Overall this winged Juno is a beautiful mauve-blue. The fall is pure white, with a very striking mauve-blue rim. Its crest is pale yellow, which also bleeds around its base. There are a few dark veined accents around its crest. It is mouth-wateringly stunning. | ||
|
Blue Lips (96-HT) EUR 10.00 graeberiana x bucharica QQ105 2011
Alan McMurtrie crossed not only reticulata irises but some of Juno species, too. This hybrid between true I. graeberiana and I. bucharica has light blue flowers; falls are white with light blue edges and deep blue slightly ruffled tips, ridge undulate, white, greenish yellow at base. Standards violet blue. |
||
|
Blue Ruffles (96-IM-1) EUR 10.00 graeberiana x {zenaide x graeberiana} 2011
In this hybrid blood of I. magnifica and I. graeberiana are involved. Flowers are violet blue with large ruffled white falls with bluish stripes and edge. Ridge is white with dentate and undulate blue edge. |
||
|
Cool Elegance (95-JO or 97-YU-2A) EUR 10.00 magnifica x bucharica 2011
This hybrid between I. bucharica and I. magnifica has large and sturdy white flowers NEW with beautiful round lemon yellow falls and deep yellow ridge, standards are light blue. May be the seedlings number isn't correct, as there are some mix of labels, but flower colour confirms parentage. |
||
|
Créme Brulee (96-MN) EUR 10.00 vicarica x bucharica Forma New for 2012
If you've ever had Créme Brulee you will find this Juno tantalizing. It's creamy white like the desert's custard. The yellow-green fall blotch is like a lightly brulee'd version of the desert's sugared topping. The standards are recurved with points like spear tips, and its style arm ribs are dusted pale yellow. |
||
|
Night Hero (97-LK) EUR 10.00 zenaide x bucharica 2011
This is hybrid between I. zenaidae and I. bucharica. Its flowers are tricoloured, standards NEW and style branches are light violet blue, but falls are brownish purple with very large bright lemon yellow dentate ridge. I don't know other similar between Juno irises. |
||
|
Snow Bunting (96-NO) EUR 10.00 vicaria x bucharica Cuba 91 2011
Another of Alan McMurtrie's Juno hybrids. This one has sligtly bluish shaded almost white flowers with very prominent dark lemon yellow ridge surrounded by yellow zone and light blue standards. The pollen parent was a specific form of bucharica that Alan got from Jaroslav Cuba in 1991 |
||
|
Sunny Day (94-OC or 94-SS) EUR 15.00 bucharica x warleyensis New for 2012
Talk about a warm breath of fresh air: this Juno is white overall, with a large bright egg-yoke yellow blotch on the fall which is surrounded by a white rim. A few faint grey veins can be seen in the rim. The style arms and small standards are white, lightly infused with mauve. Bright and refreshing. |
||
|
Sunny Side (93-KA 0r 93-LH) EUR 20.00 magnifica x full yellow bucharica 2011
Blooms very abundantly with generally light yellow flowers but large falls are much deeper yellow with almost orange ridge surrounded by large zone of same color. My favourite from first blooming. Tall, sturdy, vigorous! |
