COVER PICTURE<br />
<strong>1.</strong> <strong>Iris</strong> (juno) <strong>species</strong> <strong>nova</strong><br />
The first bulb of this incredible beauty I got <strong>from</strong> Dr. Arnis Seisums long ago under<br />
name of <strong>Iris</strong> nusairiensis <strong>from</strong> SE Turkey, Malatya province. Although it something<br />
resembles Syrian blue nusairiensis <strong>and</strong> grow in similar habitat, it forms up to three<br />
very large creamy flowers with large, round rich egg-yolk yellow patch on its falls.<br />
Later I visited its locality at blooming time <strong>and</strong> again in summer when I collected its<br />
seeds. The population turned very uniform in colour, more robust than I. nusairiensis<br />
<strong>and</strong> after discussion with other Juno specialists we came to conclusion that it really is<br />
new <strong>Iris</strong> <strong>species</strong> something intermediate between <strong>Iris</strong> nusairiensis <strong>and</strong> I. aucheri which<br />
will be described under its own name in coming monograph of Arnis <strong>and</strong> Tony Hall.<br />
Very limited stock, still almost unknown in collections but up to now far better grower<br />
in cultivation than others dwarf Turkish Juno <strong>species</strong>. Still known only <strong>from</strong> its type<br />
locality, so extremely rare in nature, too. Offered plants are grown in nursery <strong>from</strong><br />
second generation seeds.<br />

2. Allium akaka<br />
Very variable in flower colour Turkish relative of A. karataviense with very dense<br />
flower-head between two wide, quite often longitudinally ribbed leaves. It is dwarf<br />
<strong>species</strong> with large flowerhead, but only 15 cm in height. 10.00<br />
3. Allium alexejanum<br />
Flowers greenish white with purple midrib in nice umbel on very short stem. Leaf one,<br />
elliptic. Earlier under this name the closely related A. nevskianum was offered, which<br />
differs in general appearance <strong>and</strong> purple flowers. Extremely rare. Stock comes <strong>from</strong><br />
Astara Soru in Uzbekistan. 15.00<br />
4. Allium barsczewskyi 9854 Aman Kutan<br />
This bright scarlet red form of comparatively compact habitus we found on small<br />
meadow between the old granite rocks on Aman-Kutan mountain pass where its flowers<br />
looked as scarlet red carpet. Keeps its compact habitus in cultivation, too <strong>and</strong> flowers<br />
very abundantly. (ARJA-9854). 8.00<br />
5. Allium caesium ‘AQUAMARINE’ (sin. ‘Pskems Beauty’)<br />
A relative of A. caeruleum but much smaller version – only 30-40 cm high <strong>and</strong> with tubular<br />
leaves. Umbels more lax than in other forms, flowers are very light blue slightly<br />
greenish tinted with darker midvein, resembling summer sky shaded with light white<br />
clouds. Good drainage is necessary. 5.00
