Awarded the British Iris Society's Foster Memorial Plaque (2010)
July 1, 11 - Welcome My hybrids at  (2011 Info & Catalog)
The 'Janis Ruksans' web page (click link above) shows my hybrids that he is selling. You can also download his complete 2011 catalog.
For those of you living in Europe, White Caucasus is again available from http://www.Bulbs-Bollen.nl
This year's bloom was fairly good. Yes, I would have liked even more new hybrids. The results of GA3 treatment on 2010 seed were inconclusive. There was very little first year germination, which is typical. Potentially I will try a longer soaking time with this year's seeds.
Seed set was excellent (it had been relatively poor the previous 2 years). 51% of the 640 crosses produced over 5700 seeds.
Of this year's new hybrids I quite like 05-EP-2 with it's pale yellow styles. 05-GQ-2 also had pale styles like it's sibling 05-GQ-1 which gave beautiful bloom again this year. It would seem this pattern comes from the common parent 01-PH-1.
I was quite intrigued by 06-AV-1 and 06-AD-1 though overall they are "just" purple and blue respectively.
05-BL-4 was damaged, but towards the end it opened enough to give a good impression of what it would be like on perfectly formed flowers.
