Luc and Henrik, your plants are fabolous!

Henrik it is great to see your Iris kirkwoodii from Jim flowering, did you give it a special treatment? The plants I had received from Jenny will not flower this year, but I am more than happy they are all doing fine.

Great great plants and pic everyone !
Hans, your iris nectarifera is superb and I hope to see it in nature one day to compare with I. sari.
Hendrick, your plants are so well grown too, and your iris antilibanotica is just stunning  :)
You I. kirkwoodii is also great and quite different from those I've seen; do you know the origin ?
Luc, as Hendrick, I love your I. elegantissima, that i've still not manage to flower here, although plants are growing well.

Is your plant in the soil - or in a pot buried in the soil?

Good flower

No Hans, no special treatment. I never do that.
This year most of my onco's and even new offsets flower; I really don't understand....
Good luck? Soil? Never had so much sun in March/April?

Good flower

Arthur,

it grows in a raised bed in pure sand outside. It gets a cover from June until September to get a dry summer rest.

Great picture Luc!

Here one of my Highlights for this season: Iris nectarifera
It was not easy to establish and the first two years after planting it stayed very small compared to now. This species has been introduced several times in cultivation but it seems to be tricky in bulbframes or greenhouses as most grower I know lost it before they got a flower. There are not many information about this species and the best (and only) picture of the flower I could find in Internet has not the best resolution (http://www.agaclar.net/forum/showthread.php?t=3320 -Nr.10). The second picture I know is one taken by Brian Mathew (Backcover ASI yearbook 2006). The flower he showed has standards of the same colour as the falls.
The colouration of the plant here is similar to those which can occure in Iris sari but veining is something thinner and in difference it produces stolons.

Edit: Iris heylandiana is an other hardly known plant (from Irak) which is said to be related to Iris nectarifera, it also produces stolons - searching for pictures I found this one:  http://www.smcallister.com/images/species/heylandiana.jpg

Hans,
Ten years ago a Dutch friend gave me an oncocyclus iris called Iris nectarifera; he had collected this plant in Turkey, but I don't know where and I lost all contact with him.
I'm so free to post a picture of this plant, who start flowered today.
I don't know what it is, but he resembles very strong your plant ... and probably I show an other form of nectarifera???
I have never seen stolons, but I was not so interested in this plant and have neglected him many years.

Hi Fred,
Yes, I have the origin of this Iris kirkwoodii from Archibald:
N° 590.256: Syria, W of Aleppo, Bishmishli. Rocky outcrops between cultivated fields Ex R.&R Wallis 95-09 (From a type-locality collection of this spectacular relative of I. gatesi from around the border of Turkey & Syria....
I have two identical plants; unfortunately the plants are slightly virus infected...

Those last two Fred, are outstanding, the colouring of the first and the understated elegance of the second. I adore them both - but from afar! :'(

I just bought this Onco sp from Roger Barlow of Beaver Creek Greenhouses in
British Columbia.

My upright hand could hide the whole thing.  I am only familiar with oncos in
photos, and it is difficult to tell size from them.

Is this plant abnormally small? and any idea what it is?
