Hello Pat,
it is wonderful to see this flower at this time of the year when we on the northern part of the world still have to wait about 6 months! :D

Thanks for all the comments on the atropurpurea photos. I will get out there for som of the haynei group which should be flowering by now. So very thankful that these arils grow here so well.

Hi Pat,

Great healthy plants and such a dark colour is the colour variable in the species

I was battling against strong winds this evening to take photos of the arils flowering.
I will post one that is kind of in focus of Iris hermona hybrid dark form on the left (very large flowered and the stems had curled around - hence my hand in the photo) and Iris haynei (still flowering with more buds to come). I have pollinated both with themselves (well the same clump but a different rhizome so I hope they take) Also collected some anthers to dry and save for later or to share.
