You can find quite a few fotos of various oncos, including both I. iberica and I. kirkwoodii at the following site.

That is a super site Jamie, alas the plants are forbidden to me. Marcus Harvey in Tasmania has imported some from him though not with huge success I believe. It was very good to see some which are rarely able to be viewwed like II. antilibanotica and polakii.

Myriam,
We found Iris lycotis, but not in flower. From Iris sari only 1 flowering plant.

Rik, Myriam,
This is just the same plant of Iris iberica lycotis about which Rik reports but pictured by me 5 years ago.

Those 2 pictures of Iris iberica elegantissima are made in 2005 on very steep slope on roadside to Ispir in Turkey.

Amazing species and places, thanks for shering these photos.
the lycotis clump is stunning.

Do you know if the three species you have shown are under snow in winter?

I don't know it, but as longitepala was pictured at altitude 1545 m, iberica LST-236 - 1980 m - I think both must be covered by snow in winter. Unfortunately for lycotis I forgot to take coordinates and altitude... ???

The attached pictures are of Iris meda, made in Iran. They definitely are covered by snow in winter, there were plenty of snow in more shaded spots and in depressions Puschkinia scilloides only started blooming. In my notebook are written: Pass before Takht-e Soleyman, still some snow on N slopes, quite nude stony openings. 2620 m.

By Google Earth altitude at lycotis spot is 1800-1900 m - so it certainly is covered by snow in winter, but in summer all those three spots are very dry and hot.

Beautiful I. meda, Janis. Is this form in cultivation?  The dark clones are partcularly stunning.  I have but one seedling of the species coming along.
