How dry do you keep I winowgradowii Fred? It looks like you are growing it in very stony soil...

Wow, so many superb Iris, Janis those you show are spectacular!
Dirk, beautiful purple form of Iris zagrica! Wonder if the different colourforms grow in different populations or do they occure all in the same?
Fred lucky you are, great picture of Iris winogradowii, it did not like it here.

Janis,

those are truly amazing.  I know Alan has been working for years on this project, but the results are better that any fantasy.  Truly changing the face of reticulata iris.
