Iris and some Irids 2011

Some beautiful Irises being shown from Australia and New Zealand in the Iris threads so I must show my minor triumph.

Iris unguicularis has flowered for me (at last!) and I think it was 2007 when it last flowered. So far only one flower but I'll settle for that. It's a lost label so if anyone can hazard a guess at a name that would be a double bonus.



It's going quite mad now. I had another flower in early December, and now today, one open and one more to come by the end of the week. Yes, I know, the plant does look a bit tatty.

As it is another miserable day, I thought I would cheer people up with some shots of Oncocyclus iris from my Iran 2010 trip.

We were in the far NW of Iran in an area famed for its Christian churches - the reason for visiting the area.

We had not expected to see such a magnificent display of Iris iberica ssp. elegantissima.

The iris were located not far from this - imagine waking up every morning to this vista.  It is of course Mt Ararat

In another location, not many miles away, we found what we thought might be a hybrid swarm between Iris iberica ssp. elegantissima and Iris lycotis.

The last photo is Iris lycotis photographed in 2004 at the Razan Pass.

Thanks for the wonderful iberica photos, Art!

Davey, I. humilis does have an aril, but it is small and inconspicuous, not pronounced as in oncos and regelias.

Davey,

I have had seed of this species before and it does have a small aril.  Not as large as oncocyclus and regelia, but certainly there.

So I. humilis doesn`t belong to Arils, it belongs to section Psammiris

Thank you Tom and Jamie I'm 100% sure it isn't Iris Humilis then i'll post a pic of the seed tomorrow.
Gerhard I knew Humilis belong to section Psammiris but was sure it had a small aril just needed to clarify thank you for answering though.

Gerhard,

I would classify it as an aril.  One of the four families: oncocyclus, regelia, psaudoregelia and psammiris.  Apparently, all families a partially fertile in crosses with each other, although, agreed, psammiris is the farthest relative.
