We just got back from a visit to the Gothenburg Botanics (I hope to find the time to post some more pix in the forthcoming days), and discover this fabulous Iris camillae here on the forum, after having seen it for the very first time 'live' in the flabbergasting Gothenburg bulbhouse.

Here's the Gothenburg clone.

Luc, great you show this Iris camillae - the standards are a bit strange - but I think it is a clone similar to Jims one.

Today opened the last I. kirkwoodii its only bud for this year - and I was very surprised about the colour - it is even darker as my dark one!
What a beautiful day. 8)
Here both clones - the dark one and the 'very' dark one. ;)

fantastic : it's sure the standards of the second one are darker ! Do they have the same lineage ?

Thanks David, Luc and Bio,
Both plants I received as plants of turkish origin of different queries - unfortunally I have no further information - but I think Brian Mathew or Jim Archibald mentioned an old collection in turkey of dark plants of this species.

Luc, it is about 40cm tall at flowering, just hope there isn't any strong winds for a while.
I have a few other different ones with buds on, can't wait to see them open.
