Superb Iris assadiana, Hendrik! Hope you will show many more of your plants!
Here Iris damascena is flowering. It is a species which is floriferous with me but the number of seeds is always very low, if any.

Backlight for oncos brings out the very best features as Hans has shown with his stunning photo of Iris damascena. The sari photo shows the backs of the petals well.

Thank's Miriam !
Superb pics and plants ! But I still don't know why it's called iris petrana as it's really completly different from I. petrana ex Jordan.
The yellow form is  :o :P

hendrick, wer'e looking for your pictures  ;)

Superb Miriam! The yellow one is breathtaking, but I.p.1 is also a very beautiful specimen!  :o
I agree completly with Fred, using the old name Iris hieruchamensis for israelian plants might make sense to separate them from the Jordanian Iris petrana.

Yes Hans, even the habit is different : I. petrana forming clumps while I. hieruchamensis seems to very more stoloniferous.
