That is lovely, Ian, you must be pleased with it.  Irises are very photogenic aren't they?

Indeed, I. kirkwoodii is a very nice species, and not so difficult!
A dangerous passion...

I'm looking forward to seeing the "moleskin" irises.
I have seen them mentioned on occasions.

Herewith the picture of a "moleskin" iris (Iran). Hybrid or a new species?
Plant is rather small (20 cm) and flower only 4,5 cm high; it is not a good grower...
Enjoy.

wow! BRAVO! for all of you for this fantastic Iris season.

Hendrik, I would say Moleskin is a pure species.

Hendrik is that all beard or part signal spot. How amazing is that - love it.
What reasons do you think it is not a good grower?

Pat,
Herewith a new picture to show you the complete fall; yes, indeed, it's all beard - around beard you have a white zone and than the signal spot.
Compare with I. meda it is here a weak plant, with thin leaves (3-4 mm). Unfortunately I have only one plant, so no possibility to obtain seeds....

Rafa,
Yes, I think too that it is a new species; I got this plant from my Latvian friend and he too says the same!

Hendrik,

great fotos of the moleskin.  I've seen it pictured in a few articles (ASI journal?), but never in such detail.  Thanks!  I had always thought it must be an undescribed species, as it simply doesn't fit to any currently know.  Probably related to sari and nectarifera, maybe a link to the acutiloba group.  Was this collected in Syria of further East towards Iran?  Someone else must have a clone to crosspollinate.  A truly spectacular little creation, isn't it?  Save the pollen and freeze it, just in case.  Or make a cross with something, anything.

Thanks so much Hendrik for the closeup.
Reminds me of a bumble bee (only seen them in NZ as we do not have them in Oz)

Superb plant Henrik!
This plants are often mentioned as 'Moleskin Iris', Meda - hybrids or Iris polakii. Jim Archibald had them running as Iris aff. barnumae, but as Bob Wallis told me he also was convinced it was a new taxon. I have received two plants from Jenny Archibald last year - hope those are two different clones and will develope well so they could flower next year.

Actually a fantastic dark form of Iris paradoxa atrata is flowering. It is grown from seed I received from a very generous forumist from Armenia some years ago. Thank you very much!  ;)
The second is Iris gatesii.
