Thanks a lot Fred! Hope to get seed - I removed all the pollen of the flowers and try to pollinate them by hand.
Yes, they start always very early, but in May all this spectacle should be over. ;)

After several years of growing it from seed today I saw the first flower of Iris bismarckiana in the garden - really a spectacular species.
