Congratulations Hans ,
  3 rare and difficult Junos in wonderful health -beautyful photos !
 I can never keep I.fosteriana ,but the sight of a hillside in Iran in early march in 1971
covered in hundreds and hundreds of I. fosteriana in bloom will always stay in my
memory.

Thanks for all the nice comments - also for me they are like a hint of spring.
This are all plants which I received from good friends and make them very special for me.

Otto it must be breathtaking to see a large population of Iris fosteriana - I received a single seedling some years ago and this is its first flower - and Pat, certainly I tried to pollinate all of them - let`s see... :)

It is hard , from the viewpoint of winter in Aberdeen, to comprehend that Hans has these flowers at this time, especially when he has just been making trips even in Mallorca to the snow covered mountains, ...... what mysterious  puzzles nature lays out for us!
