What smashing flowers Fred. Are these out now? The oncos have had a really long - and glorious - season this year.

What great pictures!!! :o

Zhirair - thanks for showing Iris grossheimii -  pictures of this species are very rare and I had no idea how it should look like - it is something similar to the plant in Reply #356.

Fred, your pictures are (as usual) superb - I did not know there is so much variation in this ssp - easily this could thought to be 3 different species... ::)
I have no doubt you enjoyed the trip and hope you will show some more pics of it (not necessary only Oncos ;) ) :D

Many Thank's !

As I don't have a lot of time now, I'm posting every 2 days on this trip in our French forum, but names are Latin  ;D

Have a look...

Wonderful colour on I. cedretii, Fred, was this one clone or a population?  It looks like a loose clump, maybe stoloniferous.
