Several pics from the nature, in the northern part of Israel:
Iris lortetii- endemic to the eastern Galilee. In Hebrew it is called "Iris Hadur", meaning “Elegant Iris” and indeed some consider it as the most beautiful Oncocyclus Iris in Israel.
Iris hermona-grows in the Golan Heights and Mount Hermon. Flowers are very large about 15 cm in diameter.

Iris lortetti is a bride! A wedding cake, a fluff of pink cloud  :D My favourite iris. I've never actually SEEN it of course, only pictures but if I ever do, I shall prostrate myself and worship it.

Its surroundings look amazingly like my lawn, a field of clover and other weeds. Perhaps it would LIKE to be here. :)

A little sun, Hans, but also cold wind still.... can you do better, please?  ::)
 I am freezing while I dream of Iris lortetii which is one of the most exquisite flowers I can imagine.

Thank you for showing these beautiful Iris Miriam!
I love the "habitat" pictures, which always gives some insight where plants like to grow!
Now, when I am writing this, it makes me curious how the same place looks in three or four months.
Do you have pictures??

Yes Luit seeing the same sites at different times of the year would be good.

Miriam and Rafa thank you so much.
Rafa why the dual name?
The following quote is from the BIS Species Group book A Guide to Species Irises Their indentification and cultivation

Iris basaltica Dinsmore
"This species is reported by S A Chaudhary to be in danger of extinction. It was also recorded in the past from Krak des Chevaliers. P. Mouterde regards this species as the probable source of the cultivaed I. susiana L."

By the way Shaukat Chaudhary lives in Sydney nowadays
