Kenneth especially the form of Iris persica is very fine!
Armin - this are really great pics - many thanks for showing this wonderful form of Iris stenophylla (looks like the form called Iris heldreichii in the past).

The bulb garden in Gothenburg botanical garden is outside but covered with a large glass roof. Like at glass house without walls.

Kenneth, do you have general picture of the bulb garden as I'm thinking about something like that but I still have questions about rain coming from open sides.

Are they growing outside or in a bulb frame or glass house ?

Thank you for helping me with pictures of the "bulb garden". I thought I had one but I can't find it. It is a constuction that works very well. It gives shelter against rain and it is not to hot in spring. The old bulb garden with a couple of small glass houses had just problem with to much heat during sunny days.

Iris aucheri and I. aucheri 'SNOW WHITE' are flowering now, but I think the white clone more vigourous and taller than the type....
They're also quite different in habit...
I wonder if they're really the same species ????

Unfortunatly, no sun today for brighter pics  :(

Does anyone know if Iris aucheri 'Snow White' is a garden selection or a wild selection?
