very very short Iris sprengeri, didn't manage to get a good pic of it.

 I like it very much - great plant, one of the tricky species here!

One of easiest with me - what a great difference!

Indeed, they have a good taste, the bastards!
I found them only on one clone of the Iris...normally they eat other plants.

Thanks Miriam - I searched for this caterpillar and could not find any hint it eats Oncoleaves! Hope it will not become fashion for this species.

Yes - the same with Iris iberica elegantissima - think summers are to hot, decided to grow them in pots only and store them to a cooler place in summer (perhaps I should look for a fridge similar to Orons ;))

Iris camillae is an interesting species, said to be very variable because of hybrid origin - as far as I know only plants with blue standards are in cultivation, so I was very curious about the first flower of of my seedlings. Finally first bud opened yesterday (apologiesfor the bad pic, it was already dark when I saw it). This plant flowers blue again, but it seems to be a darker form than I already grow. :)

Thanks Fred - yes it was comletly dark and raining when I took the picture (took many pictures, but in most I focussed the wrong things ;D). Think there will come another flower from this clone later (this was out of time). Hope your Iris camillae will bloom this year. ;)

Some pictures from a different location which is situated very close to the sea.
Iris atropurpurea grows there among Retama raetam (the white-flowering shrub), Artemisia monosperma, Pancratium maritimum and many more plants...
