Superb  Iris acutiloba ssp. longitepala Hendrik! :o

Thanks Miriam! Fantastic pictures of Iris lortetii - always enjoy pictures of plants in their habitat! Do you know wich plant is this on picture nr. 9 (red buds)?
Beautiful pictures of Iris nigricans everyone, it is also one of my favorites, here a picture (taken last month! ::)) and one of Iris kirkwoodii (please overlook the weeds ;)).

I am currently reading "The Tower of Babel" by Morris West. The locus for the story includes Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Jordon, Egypt. The year is 1966 and the region is on the brink of war which, in hindsight, we know did happen. Here we are, 45 years later; maybe a little has changed, maybe not, with Libya and Syria at war with their own people and still great instability everywhere in the Middle East. Yet as we see here, the irises which for me define the area as nothing else can, not wars, religions, politics of any kind, thankfully flower on year by year. May it please whatever God one believes in that some day the irises, will unite and not the ideologies divide, the many peoples and nationalities of this ancient civilization.

Miriam thanks for showing Iris lortetii in its natural habitat. The countryside is so different to what I had imagined.

Hendrik I totally agree with you!
Your comment let me start to think which could be the most beautiful one - started to make a list, but could not decide ... so I wanted to start a second list about the less beautiful ones - the page stayed empty...  ;)

Have you all seen the stunning little hybrid (barnumae x paradoxa) shown at the weekend at the AGS Cleveland Show (http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=7165.0)? A little beauty in yellow and deep purple/crimson. 8)

Some people says Iris sari is one of the less beautiful ones;
before to say this judgement herewith some different forms of I. sari; it also shows the variability in this easy growing species!

Christian, your iris nigricans looks like Iris jordana, which is more violet...
