thank you for your reply. after i sent my query, i realized i was thinking of Albuca cf. spiralis, which is not an Irid., but i gather your advice still applies. these seed are a bit old and i did not have any luck in the past with germination. i just found them in the fridge again and there are quite a few. i have planted them again but not too hopeful. thanks again. ======= tsuh yang > On Dec 21, 2020, at 1:03 PM, Rodney Barton via pbs <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> wrote: > > I believe that irids vary a lot. Some iris have been documented to stay viable for many years and some of the other irids are said to need immediate planting. I've had a few germinate after several years. If you have seed it can't hurt to try them. > > Rod > > On Sunday, December 20, 2020, 9:48:59 AM CST, Pia Binha via pbs <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> wrote: > > do Irid seed stay viable after years of storage in the fridge? or do they lose viability quickly? > _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net>
