Simon - I really like C. danfordiae, another one I don't grow. Hard to believe that yours are in bloom now, outside, in Bulgaria! Here there is still so much snow, and it hasn't been above freezing for many weeks. I also like the short stubby foliage on that Crocus species, or at least short as the flowers emerge.
Mark Mc, the plant in the first picture is Iris histrio.
Mark Iris_histrioides_cultivars_04-03-2006rs.jpg is a lovely plant.
Why are you onion man when you have a brilliant collection of bulbs?
But I've noticed, that in your 2007 photos the yellow throat isn't apperently like in the 2009 photos. Is it only on the screen or real?
... all plant photos are what they are, untouched except for typically applying a "sharpen" filter on them after resizing the images down. On images taken in poor light, either too bright or two dark, I might also apply a "brightness" adjustment to compensate. I use my daughters inexpensive (cheapo) entry-level Nikon Coolpix, really must get myself a better camera to get shots like Mark S or Cliff B
