Iris sofarana ssp. kasruwana , from Lebanon, is just open . It also could be the original old Iris susiana.

Wonderful Onco again Fred! :D - I showed my seedlings your pic as stimulus ;D

A plant for which it was quite worth to wait for it until today: 
Iris gatesii - It is said to be the largest Onco species – here the measures of this topmodel:
total height about 90cm, flowerheight/diameter 20/14 cm.

For comparison of the size you can see (faded) Iris iberica ssp lycotis (Reply #232) on the right side of the second picture – and for sure even this one is not one of the smaller Oncos.

A fabulous plant Hans. Hope it doesn't have its head shot off, poking it above the parapet there. ;D

Fred,

That last pic is just gorgeous!! :o :o :o :o

Hans,

Spectacular.  Very, very nice clump too.  I can understand why people go to so much trouble to collect and coddle these Iris in just the right conditions.  The flowers are just unbelievable.  :o

Exceptional, Hans,

the fahl, stone-blue toning gives it an etherial note.  Is this one of the latest blooming oncos?

Fred and Hans , just when thought I had seen the most beautyful of the Oncos , I'll have to change my mind again ,after seeing your spectacular 2 species .
  Seems a few people want I gatesii to climb your wall, Hans, and find a refuge somewhere else - maybe a long trip and holiday in Australia and New-Zealand would suit them?

Fred, i totally agree with you that they will not make it as far as Australia and NZ but I'm sure they can float with the currents across the Mediterranean sea. ::) ;D
Not to mention I. sofrana ssp. kasruwana from Lebanon that can easily walk here even with its eyes closed...
