Hi Chris, welcome to the Forum....you will find many of us with a liking for the plants from your favourite places, too!

Beautiful Irises.... where do you live that you can grow these outside?

Christian, welcome to the forum.

Wonderful Onco's you have there. You grow them outside? Which conditions (soil, humidity) do you give them?

Christian,

welcome aboard!  You're going to love this forum.  Are you really in Pfalz, or is this simply your last name?

Last species ( but not least  ;) ) to flower here will be Iris auranitica; one of the showiest  ( my opinion ) and the most fragrant species !
Unfortunately, also one of the most difficult to grow because it rots very very easily

As usual, you'll get in in White and black  ;D

hello all,
big thanks....i live in rheinland pfalz, south west germany, very good conditions and dry and hot summers.
my plant stay in sandy soil southside, under a big pinus pinea. only rain protection from november till march.
my iris are in combination with eremurus olgae, acantholimons, astragalus, ophrys etc. my inspiration for oncos arise at a visit by josef mayr in munich. these two species is the beginning. since last year i´ve got onco nigricans from jordan, at the same conditions, looks very well, but it doesn´t bloom this year.
regards

Hello Christian. Give it at least a week to see if the pod starts to develope. Unless you hand pollinated it
I doubt anything will come.
