Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knew of varieties that had names relating to Star Trek or Star Wars. As the name suggests I am trying to start a themed iris patch and any bit of help would be great!

Oh, would also love to know if anyone else has started a themed section and what that theme is! I think it's such a great idea.

Starship Enterprise


Beam Me Up Scotty


Doctor Spock (no photo in the database)

Tribble


Skywalker


Galaxy Quest


Aliens of the Galaxy


Obi-Wan Kenobi


Space the Final Frontier (no photo in database)

Boldly Go

Star Wars

Daisy,
Thank you for the quick response and the wide variety. There certainly are some stunning ones included.

Millennial Falcon

I actually did have a Star Trek - Star Wars - anything spacey iris garden around 15 years ago and had a number of the irises listed above. It was a fun thing to do!

A couple more spacey ones I had:

Moonraker
Apollo One

Thanks for the acorn, Elsa!

Thanks for the acorn, Evelyn! It was fun doing this. I've always been a sci-fi fan. Loved Star Trek, especially the original series. And saw every one of the Star Wars movies. I remember I was dating my hubby at the time of the first Star Wars movie, and we made a trip down to D.C. just to be able to see it on the big screen of the famed Ontario Theater. It was such a treat! When we hit hyperspace, the entire audience cheered.

I've had Starship Enterprise. (the borers got, alas) It is gorgeous. The first time I saw it bloom it took my breath away.

I ,too,love Starship Enterprise.One of my all time favorities.However,it has never done well for me over the years even though I have kept buying replacements.

That picture by Artsee of Skywalker is NOT Skywalker. Skywalker has a yellow and white beard and is not a blended color iris. This is more what Skywalker will look like in your bed:

There is also Wukee:

Princess Leia is a Louisiana iris:
They have different requirements than bearded though.

There is an MTB Pixi-wan Kenobi:

I lost my Beam Me Up Scotty. Beautiful but very hard to find.

I agree that from the registered description of the beard, Artsee's photo of Skywalker is not it, and should be removed from the Skywalker page. Thanks for alerting us to that. I wonder what Arsee's picture is really of, because, whatever it is, I'd sure love to have it! I will substitute the photo in the above thread.

Here is a picture of Millennium Falcon from the database. I had looked for it for my original post, but had not found it because of mis-spelling it. Note that it is quite variable because of the broken color.

You can click on the picture that is wrong, and make a comment calling the attention to one of the administrators then they will take any action needed.

Thanks, Tom, I'll try that.

Daisy - I agree that Artsee's is a prettier iris.

Whatever Artsees flower is, I strongly suspect it's descended from Honky Tonk Blues, as is Skywalker. It's got that lovely blue-violet blend.

Starship enterprise is a beautiful iris. Derylin, when you have purchased it in the past, where did you buy from? I keep seeing it is sold out at many vendors.

It's probably sold out fast, as it's really slow grower. After having it for many years and only seeing it bloom a couple of times it died out here.

Starship Enterprise didn't last for me either. Purchased it twice. And I live just a few miles from where it was born. Perhaps it should have gone to the mighty compost pile at Schreiners and a different iris chosen for the name.

Belle,
I think the first 2 or 3 times ,Schreiner's.I bought it one more time several years ago, but I can't be certain where.I have over 500 iris.It is hard to keep track.
I am not sure I still have it.It keeps dying out for me It seems to not be very hardy.
