Terrific plants and pictures - i enjoy every single one, Thanks for sharing them!
Impressive group of Iris fosteriana Cyril! See the leaves are very developed already, is there a variation from season to season?
I love specially  the smaller gems like Iris narbutii, Iris galatica, Iris kuschakewiczii and Iris caucasica ssp caucasica! ;)

Hans, in this particular plant, the leaves are always well developed at flowering time.  I have another plant with shorter leaves at flowering time, see picture taken 2 years ago.

Superb plant, Cyril!
 Thanks a lot for the information - thought it could come because of less light in scotland than on balearic Islands, but it seems to depend on the different clones.

A more robust plant and one from the KPPZ expedition: iris aucheri 'Turkish Ice'
and a second generation seedling 'Blue Star'.

Thank you.
Kris, your iris is not bad either, too! I think Iris is kuschakewizii is one of the best Junoiris.

Hello Arthur , thanks for the compliment. I bought it in the summer of 2011 as one single bulb (maybe I get two , don't remember exactly )from Janis. I feed it with an ordinary liquid fertilizer (the ones they use for gernaniums )
It get a very hot summer rest in my greenhouse where the cacti grow ........
