Luc,

Yep, Otto had them out in his garden last year when we were visiting.  They were absolutely amazing!!  Some of them were so tall.  I lusted after pretty much every one of them that I saw there.  ;D  I grow mine outside too all year around, but I have them in pots so I can monitor them a little easier.  I'm hoping that the rest of them will end up a little taller than sindpers though.  ::)

Paul and Otto, thanks for showing this great Junos! :o
Iris aucheri 'Shooting Star' is a real eyecatcher - so sane and with a wonderful colour! It also has Leylek station as origin?
Thanks for showing them.

magnifica alba is really lovely Otto...  when you say it is robust do you mean it likes the climate with you?  I would like to know more about Junos to grow them here if possible.

Flowering for me now, what I have under the name of Iris graeberiana - white falls, although the falls are lemon to me.  I still love it though.  Sorry for the less than perfect quality..... I've only just processed the photos and the drizzle has now affected the flowers so it isn't looking nice enough to photograph.
