You grow some very desirable and beautiful bulbous plants . Unfortunately they were mostly finished when we visited you after the Conference in April 2011 , when you and your wife spoiled us with a delicious morning tea .

2011 must have been an early season.  It was good to meet you Otto and all the other people in your group (Margaret, Ray, Roy, Pam, Cynthia and Vivienne).  Hope I got the names right.

A couple of Junos looking good now - sadly, my inferior photographic skills do not do them justice.

I. pseudocaucasica and I. leptorhiza.

A first time flower on this seed grown collection from Tadjikistan.
Iris nicolai is a close relative of iris rosenbachiana.

Steve have you published your photos? They are superb and so good I should think for identification of different species.

Thanks for your kind comments Pat!

I just wished I could grow them as well as others do.

Not so long.  This one was sown in september 2010 and germinated the following spring.

Very nice Kris!!!

The Tovilj Dara rosenbachiana collection has to be the best looking of all the nicolai/rosenbachiana types!
