Rafa,
Magnificent plant, but not I. astrachanica (=I. scariosa) which should have two flowers in inflorescence.

fantastic! I specially apreciate the good picture of a true Iris albicans, commonly mixed up with Iris germanica var. florentina.
Gerdhard, please save me a division if it's possible this year.

Gerhard and Rafa,
Is there a chance of you posting a picture of each side by side just to highlight the differences? - I albicans and Iris germanica var.florentina

I found this in flickr. It is a good picture to see the diferences, basicly they are:

Iris albicans: Flowers unbranched, bracts green/purple, papery  just in upper part.
Iris germanica var. florentina: Flowers branched, bracts completely papery.

Thanks Rafa. So it is mainly that albicans is a single flower to a stem whereas I. g. var florentina is branched. Albicans is the shorter name, being single flowered and has less paperyness - just thinking out loud of how to remember the differences.
I g var florentina has more in all parts.

Forgive me if I am being dim but surely the Iris shown in Gerhard's photo of I. albicans does NOT have a single flower... there is a secondary branch??????
There is less branching than in the photo of I. g. var florentina, and I can see differences in the flower, but the branching difference is confusing me.... :-\

Maggi maybe the flowers on the stem are not counted as stem while if there is extra green there is a stem?
These definitions might be used differently for different plants.
So what is commonly grown in gardens in Portugal is I germanica var florentina?
I ask since there was a plant in the botanical garden of what looked to the "normal stuff" that was labelled albicans.
I will see if I can dig up the picture.
The garden is run with the help of volunteers so this may explain some misnamings.

Kind regards
Joakim
