Thanks to all of you.
Rafa, congratulations, your lycotis is just stunning - perfect photos!

Every single flower of this treasures is so special - a "competition" would make no sence - every new bud produces a smile on my face (it starts to hurt at the moment ;) 8)) - equally of which species it is.
I have the good luck to live in a region where this plant can be grown quiete easy compared with central europe or Scotland and I admire everybody who is able to cultivate them there.

I think the dark purple on Zhirair's Iris paradoxa is the darkest colour purple I have seen on any wild iris apart from the Jordanian, Iris petrana.... I know that some of the cultivated bearded forms are pretty dark, but this is a natural stunner!  8)

Maggi,

Really, all the onco lovers I know, say that it is the darkest iris paradoxa they've ever seen. I do think that it is special
