Such beautiful oncos shown recently. Congratulations all on raising these rarities.
The ASI Yearbook is at the printer but articles and photos for the next yearbook are sought now.
Got my yearbook yesterday!  Great article by Fred Depalle with stunning pictures.  Pleased to be a member again after a decade-long gap. Now to build up my aril collection again!

Luc, you know ( Juno ??? no... too late  ;D ;D ;D ;D ), your plant looks like ssp. acutiloba, quite a nice form.
Do you have the origin of this plant ?...

Wow - so many breathtaking plants! :o
I am glad to see so many different growers with superb results - and I am specially glad to see Iris gatesii growing so well in Israel! ;)
Fred - as usual superb pictures of outstandig species. :)
Think here finally all Oncos are over, one of the last was also Iris gatesii - other very late one was a seedling of Iris kirkwoodii (flowering while I could collect the first seeds of this species) and one I received as spec. from Iran, which might be Iris grossheimi http://www.signa.org/index.pl?Display+Iris-grossheimi+1.

Yes the leaves are distinctive and I especially like the small leaves with much curl. Brings a smile every time.

Another plant that I had as iris barnumae, but if I'm right this must be Iris polakii.
