Oron and Miriam, thanks for showing this superb pictures of this Oncos in their natural habitat!
Oron, I agree - the red spotted bismarckiana is fantastic (and again it looks I. bismarckiana is much more floriferous as I thought... 8)).

Oron and Miriam
I can only be another echo - but also congratulate you both on the superb photos. I have never seen the red spotted bismarckiana before. The blue sky behind the flowers was particularly striking. And my arils are staying underground for the time being. No rain for so long. As I have recently dug a few rhizomes and distributed them to growers here in Australia I have noticed new increase on many though.

It rates very highly in the 'drool' factor Hans! ;D
Perhaps I should I distribute bibs... ::) ;D ;)
Not drooling, but I'm definitely gob-smacked! These iris are just fabulous! Thank you, Hans, Oron and Miriam!
cheers

Rafa,

wonderful blossoms.  Is the first forma atrata?  What about the second, would that simply fall under paradoxa?

I think so Paddy, this form was also called 'Sevan', 'Prasil'... our friend Zhirair from Armenia told us there are darker forms in many other places in Armenia.
The second one is subsp. choschab, from Azerbaijan.
