After a long time without Oncos:
New season has started, as usual Iris atropurpurea is the first to flower.

My onco's didn't look well this spring. Winter was too warm and for onco's it resulted in unfrosen soil and too wet conditions. Will see later - will I have few in spring or not. Ahead very serious frosts.

Stunning backlight hans !!!
You make me crazy as I missed then in nature..... ??? :'(
Janis,
temperature is not the most important point for onco's to start growth, only watering time is important.
May be you should delay it to january ?

Fred I have onco rhizomes start into new growth while still in their paperbags in the flat boxes in the garage. This is my trigger to replant in autumn.

Yes, I know that I gave too much water in autumn. It was my mistake, but frost makes soil "dry" - I hoped to that.  If something will alive, I will be more careful in future.

Sorry to read that. :( 2 or 3 plants in the garden are just great - but an entire population must be breathtaking.
