Janis,

The Archut paradoxa is striking!  So dark, with with the fine contrasts.  Spectacular!

Actually, I must comment on the glorious buds in that last hybrid picture.  Amazing to think that that flower emerges from those buds.  Beautiful!!

Thanks so much for the pics.

Paul, Janis,

I can only echo the previous comments....wonderful!  One can learn so much from such fotos.  Like many others,I find the I. paradoxa forma atrata is simply spectacular.  Were most of the other plants in the immediate area similar, or were lighter coloured forms also common.

I never saw I paradoxa atrata in wild, so I can judge only by specimens grown in my nursery which I got from my Armenian friends and they are very uniform. Today I'm showing Iris paradoxa form chosab. Those all are pictured E from lake Van. BATM - not far from Chosab castle, JRRK - just near Czug pass. As you can see - plants are quite uniform, but rarely are forms with more intensively striped standarts (mostly just such are pictured). On last picture Henrik Zetterlund looking for best view.

The veining is just amazing.  And what a pretty blue flower in your last one.  ;D ;)

And quite a prostrate form! ;D It's more upright in it's native Sweden.
Thanks for the amazing pics, Janis and Paul R.
