Hans, Luc and Alex- thanks for your nice pictures!

Here are some pictures from a population of Iris palaestina, which I visited with a member of this forum  ;)
This population is very varied.

Wonderful, Miriam,

interesting to see the striped pattern is relatively consistent for the species, even though the ground colour can vary considerably.  Thanks for sharing these.  I hope to see seed of the species at some time on one of the exchanges.  The Juno bug has bitten me kinda hard.  ;D

Sometimes I would love to ask Mother Nature why she did a certain design and colour. Utterly amazing are some of these juno markings.
Each is perfect.

Oooh, I think I know the answer to that one, Pat...... " just because she can"
 ;) 8) 8)

 I think these photos we see in the Forum of the variations in wild populations (of any plant, not simply Iris)  ashow us one ofthe most valuable lesseons we can learn about plants.... .they are almost infinitely variable, even within one species. Something we should celebrate and always bear in mind, I reckon!

Luc, are you growing them on your veranda? Very nice indeed

They spend Autumn and early Winter outside (sheltered from rain though) David - brought inside the veranda 3-4 weeks ago - they will stay there until repotted sometime in september/October.  They don't seem to dislike this regime !!  :D

Beautiful shots from the wild Miriam !!  :o

Excellent Varzob form. I almost lost my original stock during one season, now slowly recovering. Another may be is SINA form - but color ? Very dark back of stigmatic branches is characteristic just to Sina forms, only yellowish shade not correspond with this.

Here are a couple - I. rosenbachiana 'Tovil Dara' and an I. leptorhiza. The latter doesn't look quite like the other one I have (although reasonably similar) - can anyone confirm or refute its identity?

Cheers,

Alex
