The first is Alma-Ata form, may be could be worth to name "var. almaatensis"?
The second is LB form, not exact;ly responding with diagnosis of so named "kopetdaghense" - in attachment pictures of both LB and McM - note the difference (leaf development)

Janis

Interestingly, my plants came from Leonid and have their leaves at flowering time.

The leaves are quite long already and remind me a little of Iris Zagrica - a pretty iris when the leaves are below the flower, but all too soon they submerge the flower.

PS  Now have my hands on your 'Magnum Opus' and am very impressed.

Janis,
 the flowers in your picture of the "McMurtrie" form of  I 'kopetdagense' look more robust, more horizontal haft and style arms, the stands look broader too. Do you find this is true?
The plants I have are Leonid's form and I find the angle of the haft quite distinctive , and the very narrow, wavey stands. It does however remind me of J S Dijt.

I don't think that those are important features to distinguish species. There are no surprise that they are different a little - that you will find in any species. By color they really looks very close to J.S. Dijt.

Happy man. I still didn't receive nor my author copies, nor additionally ordered. Even more - my Latvian friend and colleague (author of cv. Jurpils pictured in book) got mail from publisher that all copies are sold out and he must wait till end of March when 2-nd print will be available. In this case I'm not enjoyed by so nice information.

Really beautiful Iris reticulata Ian, it has wonderful colours!

Here a shot of Iris pamphylica "seedlings" I took today - I am surprised how floriferous they are this year. Pictured are 9 flowering plants.
