If all the world could take away their wars with flowers we would be fine and so would the countries involved.
Thanks Fred and Thomas for such a safe (on our parts) journey.

Great Team!!! you really did an important document of this genus. It is an invaluable work.
Fred and Thomas, I suggest you an article of Syrian oncos, in SRGC journal.
Perhaps Iris basalitca might be missing...

You really deserve this juice Fred ;)!!

A superb idea, Rafa! We are so fortunate to have such reporters.  8)

If I were an onco, I think I would be more frightened by a sheep than by Fred.  ;)

 ;D :) ;D Thank's !
regarding the article, Thomas is a very good writer I think  ;D 

We missed Iris basaltica because we really didn't have time to go to see it, and we also need reason to go back  ;)

Tom the cows also seemed to be lying down on some irises.

Just back from another trip in Syria, here are some pictures of Iris auranitica, which was rare this year and earlier than usual, Iris swensoniana seed pods, and Iris antilibanotica, which was... late ! I was very lucky to find few flowers,  but I missed many many buds  :'( :'(

Thank's Maggy.
the trip was safe and very nice for us as we were ... alone as tourists ! nobody in palmyra, Bosra or everywhere.
people, as usual was very kind but many hotels and restaurants were closed.

Wonderful to go back and STILL find some in flower while others were in seed. Two bites at the most beautiful cherry. ;D
