Iris atrofusca from yesterday in the Northern Negev Desert.

Wow! Superb pictures, Oron -  Negev Desert looks so green, it seems it received more rain than Balearic Island. :o

Beautiful Oron! they look good this year.

Here are two species from my garden: Iris damascena and Iris nigricans (muchas gracias to two Spanish members of this forum ;))
Last year both species had only one flower and this year Many :o

Hans, it seems when in Israel there is a rainy year- In Spain it is the opposite.

Fantastic Oncos Miriam! Glad to see them so happy! :o
Oron very fine plant, did not know Iris barnumae also exists in Syria.

A bit later than in Israel Iris damascena started to flower. Yuval Sapir studied the pollination of Israelian Oncos - here the local insects like visit the flowers.

Indeed Hans, fantastic Iris damascena.
Today I had a flower on Iris iberica - Georgië; much earlier dan ssp. elegantissima.
This plant was a gift of the BG Tbilisi - Georgië during our visit 2 years ago

I don't know Fred; I think there is no difference.
I remember me that Jim Archibald says during our visit that there is no difference, only patriotism....
Each country wants his own iris!
