well done Hans! any species in your hands could be increased very quickly. I this is very impotant for species like Iris damascena that could be completely extinct in few years...

Came back from Jordan where i have been travelling a few days with a group from the UK.
Luckily we still found two Iris bostrensis in flower in north Jordan, near the border with Syria.
This is probably the only population of this species in Jordan, growing in semi desert conditions, the main population can be seen 40-60 km up north in Syria.

Going down south from that area direction to Jarash we have seen large populations of intermediate forms between I. bostrensis and I. nigricans, all in full bloom.
Variation in color and leaf form  is really huge, seems that there are no 2 plants that look the same.
these are only a few samples.

While waiting for some more pics from our friends of Oncos in nature here some actual pics of cultivated plants:

Iris kirkwoodii ssp. calcarea
Iris haynei
Iris camillae
Iris damascena
Iris petrana

Hans
 
Seeing your plants, it seems that you grow them better than mother nature, i'm speechless :-X
I. damascena in my opinion is the most beautiful of all oncos :o [at least for this seoson  ;)]

Wow, very interesting population near Jarash!
I thought Iris nigricans grows in more arid zone...
I wish I could see them...maybe next year ;)
You are now an Oncoholic in process, be careful ;D


Hans,
I think soon your plants will become to invaders species in your island  ;) ;D

Gorgeous oron !
I haven't seen I. nigricans near Amman but further south.
I'll post pics soon to compare shapes and colours.
Very nice Iris bostrensis too  :)
Hans, I hope I damascena, which should open in the next few days will look as nice as yours. It's an amazing flower.

Oron, your Iris pictures are impressive but the picture of Iris nigricans with Ranunculus asiaticus is soooo beautiful.
I love such habitat picures! Thanks for showing.

Oron,
Your pictures are phantastic. Fortunately oncos are very difficult here and not many growing more or less... Fortunately I'm not more so young...  otherwise I will fall in love with them (oh, in any case I have too much of them ???
