Wonderfull xerophytic pants

Sorry Fred ... I know you didn't mean it, but 'xerophytic pants' would be a wonderful invention for potty-training infants!!!   :D

Magnificent collection of images, Hans ... please congratulate your extremely green-fingered friend.

Just when I thought it was all over for this year, these incredible pictures. The lortettii v. samariae to die for!!! and Hans, Herr Mayr's are amazing too. I know he sends some to Australia and I've heard good things about them. Can't thanks you gentlemen enough for today's incredible show.

Of course I have a new one as well. :) A seedling 1cm high this morning from I. iberica elegantissima, from Kew. Not worth a photo yet ;D

Thanks so much for showing us these treasures! :o
And, Hans, thank your friend for allowing you to share them with us - his dedication to growing them is seen in the construction needed to grow them to such perfection.
cheers

Going into your Summersleep now Hans ??  ;D

Not summersleep - sunbathe at the beach... ;D ;)


Oron the pictures are just breathtaking! Wonderful variant!

Hans, thanks for showing this pictures - I did not expect some of the shown plants are able to resist so low temperatures in winter for such a long time!
Especially Iris iberica ssp elegantissima is stunning - it flowered here sometimes but never so rich as the shown ones and it is, I think because of the local climatical conditions, one of the more complicate to grow here.

Is this the right place? Iris stolonifera 'Brown Standard' in the garden.

Shalom Oron,

Wonderful photos!

Where have you been? Elon Moreh or Itamar? I've been in both places but only never at flowering time  :-\ 

Thomas.

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.

A dark form of Iris paradoxa is flowering now, very old one from Avon bulbs.
