Earlier than ever some Junos are in flower:
On the picture different Iris persica, Iris stenophylla allisonii, Iris planifolia and Iris planifolia var. alba.

Excellent display, Hans. I can't reach such view here even under glass. For me almost 3 monthes ahead before first Juno will start blooming in greenhouse. At pesent even in greenhouse temperature drops in nights till minus 10 C.

Iris palaestina is in its pick time along the coast, a sunny, windy area, growing in sand.
I have made a stop today to look for unusual forms.

 Variation in this species is extremely rare and i allways hope to find an albino or yellow form but so far nothing...
Often flowers start to bloom opening yellow but than turn to the normal white.

Very nice species, especially likes this bluish plant. I got one bulb of I. palaestina last autumn and it made leaves in October. Now it is under cover but I'm afraid that it will not alive our hard winter.

Oron how very fortunate to be able to go to these local sites and see all these beauties. Nothing as stunning in these parts.

Oron , how fortunate you are to have fields of I palaestina in flower virtually at your frontdoor . I find the pale blue variant particularly handsome and delicate . Does I. postii grow in Northern Israel ?

Thanks everyone,

Otto, good to see you back here.
To your question, I. postii grows in Saudi Arabia and i think also in south Jordan but it doesn't grow here.

There are three Junos in the area: I. palaestina which is very common through almost all Israel and Palestine and the other two, stunning species are I. regis-uzziae from the high Negev desert and Jordan and I. edomensis from Jordan, both are quite rare and grow in desert high lands.
I plan on going in mid February to Jordan to look for I. edomensis, hopfully I'll have photos to show here.
