Very early this year Iris haynei started to flower. One of the flowers is very huge, the standards are about 15 cm long - here a few pictures (as I could not decide which to post ;)).

Hans, thank you for the nice pictures of Iris haynei.
Herewith a very much smaller onco: Iris sprengeri, photographed yesterday.

Another visit to the Negev where the three Oncos are in bloom at the moment: I. mariae, I. atrofusca, I. petrana/hieruchamensis.

I hieruchamensis just never stop to surprise me with its stunning range of colors , here are some samples.
Unluckily there was no sun today so colors are not as bright.

Iris atrofusca is much less variable in color,
still it is breathtaking to see this large dark flowers in their natural habitat.

Oron, I'm going to have to take a nap and rest my eyes :o :o :o :o :o
Amazing color forms and flower shapes on hieruchamensis, the golden one is a special treasure.

I see some variation in the I. atrofusca, the first is more of a mahagony brown-black color, and the last one is... well, BLACK...stunning.

I'll be returning here to feast my eyes again over and over. Thank you for sharing these.

And from the other side of the country ;D:
Here are some pictures from my trip yesterday to Nazareth (Iris bismarckiana) and the Gilboa Mt (Iris haynei).
I was especially amazed to see the population of Iris haynei with many many flowers in many colors (blue, purpule, pink, black and etc...). As the population is more old and established, more unique forms are appearing.

Iris bismarckiana is not so floriferous species. it mainly increases by vegetative reproduction.
