Many thanks, Mark.
It is the first blossom Iris sari of this form and more nicely than expected.

Hello, I grow a few Onco Iris, and grow them in pots under glass as I live in Toronto, Canada. Do Onco's like to be pot bound, or should they have space to encourage bloom, and growth. Mine fill the pot , and I wonder if perhaps I should repot them into  larger pots once dormant.

Thanks,

they can be grown pot bound so long as they have enough food. use low nitrogen.

My experience is that they perform better in small pots if you want to grow them in pots. 
However they grow much better planted out in covered coldframes/raised beds.
