Hans,

what a masterpiece of colour, form and light!  A truly magnificent species.  Will you have seed available?

It rates very highly in the 'drool' factor Hans! ;D

Perhaps I should I distribute bibs... ::) ;D ;)

It is a really a beautiful sight but (in my experience) after such a floriferous year the plants normally collapse and will need a time to recuperate :-\
As I have only one floweringsized clone I hardly will get any seed, even if I selfed every flower - with  something of luck I will get perhaps a total of 5 seeds.

Luc - last year I.camillae was shown by a very skilled grower -  not me. ;)

Allow me to say that I consider modesty as a very nice character trait Hans, but here it is totally misplaced...  ;D ;)

   Indeed , Luc, I agree that the skills shown by these Iris growers is remarkable and to be much admired. :)

Early this morning i went to visit a few colonies of I. hynei and I . bismarckiana not far from where i Live.
I . hynei bloom is disappointing this year dew to the drought, there where very few flowers.

Luckily, I live just a few Km from this amazing colony of I. bismarckiana.
 I love particularly the red spotted ones...

WOW Oron- the red spotted I. bismarckiana is astonishing :o

Today I also went to visit some locations of Oncos in the Negev desert in the south of Israel.
And here is what I have found: Iris atrofusca.
Iris petrana is still not in flower, there are some buds about to open, but the show will be poor compared to last year.
