Juno (Scorpiris) season 2011

Hans many years ago I was coming across lots of plant names with canariensis as part. So started a slight mission to find all plants canariensis. Now I am thinking  'baleariensis'

Pat, I don't find any plant with 'baleriensis', but IPNI.ORG search on * balear* gives a good number of finds ,
mostly balearica & balearicum.

Mark, I shou ld have just said with Balearic in the name instead of messing up the name like I did.
Interesting list. Thanks

[Hans A.]

Thanks a lot,
There are a lot of British and German living here without knowing spanish or mallorquin (similar to catalan) - also regional newspapers in english and german exist.  
Thanks for the list of 'balearic' plants -  noticed I grow only very few the number of those with balearic in their name.

lovely Hans, but is fosteriana always so early for you? mine flowers after the last rosenbachianas and at the same time as the first vicarias. (it didnt flower last year though  )

Hummm , in that case  you hopefully still have room for a few Belgians Hans ...
Again a lot of spring with this Iris ! Why not take the next flight instead of complaining about this long dark winter ...

Wow Hans  
What a party is going on in your garden  

Iris fosteriana is a perfection!
Combination of yellow and violet-complementary colors which I adore.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh! the pain

Superb Hans,

I'm afraid mine's are too small to flower this year, but this is really a nice species.
Congratulations

The second iris edomensis is flowering now, later than the first one as it's grown outside, in the onco frame.
Few sunlight this morning, just in time to take the pic

Hi Fred and Hans,
Lovely plants!

[Hans A.]

Fred, you know I adore this species!!! - great plant and (as usual ) fantastic pic!

Thanks for the comments, Iris fosteriana is said to grow in large groups which must be an incredible sight (Otto had mentioned it once) - it would be fantastic to reproduce something similar in the garden - growing a single clone I suppose it will be a lifetime task.
Peter, this species always so early here (both species you mentioned do not like my climate  - David those should grow well with you  ). Kris, certainly Belgians are very welcome!

Hans and Fred, fantastic pictures.
Here is my first flower:
Juno nicolai

[Hans A.]

Beautyful Iris nicolai, Dirk!
Here a better picture of Iris fosteriana.
