The pictures just get better and better. What fabulous plants our forumists are growing. I'd never see anything like them if you weren't so happy to share your pictures with us. Millions of thanks.

Lesley, I could not agree more: the range of plants shown us  both from the wild and from the gardens of the Forumists is quite astounding and I am constantly delighted by the photos shared here.
Also to read of all the sharing of plant material and seed that goes on between members is exciting just to hear about... makes the Forum SO much more important to us all.
As you say Lesley, even if you in some countries cannot access even seed of therse plants at least you get to see them.
Magic, it's just magic! Thank you ALL!!

All right what you write Maggie!
And to make your words complete a picture of an Iranian iris who flowers today here in Belgium;
as you know this plant is only recently described and I'm very happy that I can share this very special plant with all the forumists!
Enjoy Iris acutiloba ssp. longitepala and a special thank to Janis ;)

How strange and exquisite is that iris. No wonder it has its name.

Hans and Hendrik- you have such great and well-grown collections :o

Chris, I didn't realize until now how small Iris elegantissima is comparing to Iris nigricans ::)
I am surprised to see that your Iris nigricans is doing so well outside in your garden after the harsh winter...

Here are some pictures of Iris lortetii I took today in nature at the north of Israel near the Israel-Lebanon border.
Iris lortetii in this location (700 meters above sea level)  is getting about 900 mm of rain during the winter time and the area where it grows is very lush and green with forests.
I had to climb a steep slope to see the huge flowers from a closer look, it was worth it!
