Iris assadiana and Iris mariae are starting
and a super rapid I. atropurpurea flowering in its third season from seeds.

Fabulous Oron!!!
First Iris atropurpurea started to flower here, Iris mariae is in buds if it should stop to rain anytime I will take pics.

[Oron Peri]

Thanks Hans,

Weather down here  is really crazy this year, a real European winter. We are expecting snow again this weekend

Great plants oron ! Your Iris assadiana looks strange.. could you check it's origin ?

This is the origin:

Syria: N of Palmyra; Jabel al Mara
              ARGI 02-145h

Should be ok for this species,
probably another clone. [which reminds me... ]

[Oron Peri]

Many thanks Luc.

Here is one of the endless color forms of Iris hieruchamensis,
and after being hand pollinated.

Iris atropurpurea develops its seed pods rapidly.
