Wow, so many nice comments :D 
I am very sorry to tell you this particular plant has decided to stay here (especially after discovering how beautiful is this area  - and how deep it is on the other side of the wall  8) ;D)

I think this the latest Onco flowering with me - I am not growing it for a very long time - this plant may be planted there 2007 as small plant with perhaps three shoots.

;D - seems it did not read Brian Mathews "The Iris" - it should stay lower... ;)

I think it wants to have a look at the wonderful view beyond the wall  ;D ;)

Here the view it has ;D -
I am surprised they are still ok, as first we had very stormy weather and last night heavy rainfall. It might be my last picture of this Iris section this year, but I hope to see some more captures of the growers in the north,  west (including the peninsula iberica 8)) and east...

Here are two blossoms of the regelia hybrid 'Afrosiab'.  A cross of the regelia I. stolonifera and the TB 'Mary Francis'.

I go away for a few days! What amazingly beautiful shots from all of you. Glad you have shown some photos large Fred as it really shows the exquisiteness of these irises.
After a lonely 3ml on the rain chart from the beginning of the year we finally had 65ml over the last few days. This has certainly shot the irises into growth. Lots of new green leaves appearing -always means I can breath easier on many of the rarer ones. NOw I can plant out the oncos seedlings that have germinated. I gently teased away the gravel from above Iris susiana and there is nice healthy looking new growth so far - just a bit yellow from lack of light.

Today I went to Samaria, to find some rare plants that grow only in that region.
One of these is I. loretii var. samariae, a stunning small variant of the species.
These are only 25cm tall but really breathtaking, the last Onco. to flower in this area.
Luckily for these, they grow in an area which is not safe to travel and so they are undisturbed by people.

Here are some pics from J. Mayr's collection. All these Oncos experienced a severe winter in an alpine house with temperatures as low as
-16C° and continues frost for 2 1/2 months. Enjoy them!
