Oncoseason 2010

[Hans A.]

First Onco from Israel in flower this year:
Iris atropurpurea

[Paul T]

Gorgeous, Hans.  The light reflection on the falls is beautiful.

Lovely to see the first of the oncos to start flowering for the year. Seems early. Sometimes I. atropurpurea is first here in the s.h. and sometimes a bit later. When I dug most of the arils last month that was the species that had produced the most rhizomes. I was not able to get any seed last season from this species which was a pity.

Beautiful colour Hans.

[Oron Peri]

Fantastic Hans and quite early for this species.

[Luc Gilgemyn]

[Gerhard Raschun]

superb plant and superb pict !

It seems there are the best condition on your island to grow oncos outside too.

Lovely Hans!
Here, they will start to flower in the end of this month.
Lucky me that I live 10 minutes drive from this species 

[Hans A.]

Thanks to all - it is really early as also some Junos are this year and I am surprised it flowers earlier here than in Israel.

Miriam, I hope you will show some pictures of your beautiful plants in your neighbourhood

Hans, don't forget you had the first rain at least a month before us.

[Hans A.]

Yes Oron, certainly you are right  - very good memory 

[BULBISSIME]

I was out for some days and really missed lot of 'unburied' treasures 
Very good pic of this early Iris Hans, which seems to be very healthy !
Congratulations again .
