Yes it's brilliant to see them. What are the big leaves?

  - Mark if you should refer on the last pic - there are (except for some small weeds) just two species visible - in front Iris planifolia (with its leaves). The plant in the background is Iris gatesii.

And if you mean the big leaves dotted around Oron's pix in post 51. page 4 of th is thread... then those are, I believe ( ! ) Urginea maritima

Yes it's image 51.

I'm not paying close attention. I'm multi tasking again. Watching the forum, editing today's photos and watching yesterdays "Secret Life of Elephants".

Terrific !!! 
Where did you buy them
I also have a lot of new plants from England and other countries, and I hope not to have the same disillusion .....

Here is my first 2009 Juno flower, Iris rosenbachiana, other forms are late

Fred,

It looks as though your rosenbachiana is growing outside in your
garden.  Is that right?

[BULBISSIME]

Not really Diane !
It's completly hardy in my garden but it's covered to be protected from rain.

[Luc Gilgemyn]

Looks gorgeous Fred !!

[janine]

What a fantastic photo Fred.

[Diane Whitehead]

Fred,

So you need to protect it from winter rain?  You don't get summer rain,
so it does not need to be covered in summer.

I'm trying to figure out which species I can grow outside.

[BULBISSIME]

Ho Yes Diane,

they also need protection in summer as we sometimes have rainy summers in France
