That is Tulipa biflora, a rare species is Israel, grows only in a relatively small area in the mountains above 900m in the Negev desert. [Syn. T. polychroma].

Hans, again... a stunning Juno...

In the desert it often has these curly silvery leaves.

Thanks - so should be nothing but easy to distinguish between this one and Tulipa systola when they have no flowers...

To come back to Junos - I discovered this flower of Iris stenophylla ssp. allisonii some minutes ago when I arrived home.  :D

Hans that ssp allinsonii what a lovely plant, brought back memories from when I went to see it in the wild. I stopped at the site which had a large flock of sheep nearby and the shepherd threw large rocks at me. I think he was bored and having a bad day! He missed me but did not improve my cars paintwork.

Here is one I am calling Iris persica that I grew

Luc the answer is yes. I have given up, they flower and then get botrytis down into the bulb. I have used every method known to stop it happening but the atmosphere here when they flower is just to cold and humid.
