Juno Iris 2015

That last photo is perhaps Juno narbutii

I apologize for the bad translation.
It is not Juno narbutii

I have something similar from Afghanistan, a little more color.
Afganistan, Namukab Mountains, 2000m

Thanks Jan, you're right of course. It's Iris nusairiensis. It was my error

Ebbie, it happens. I did not mean any harm.

After 2¹/₂ months without a computer I'm finally able to post photographs again. Got quite a backlog, but here is one from yesterday: Iris magnifica 'Agalik'.

[LucS]

Also, by Frank Schmidt "Juno Afghanistan violet". Does anyone know its name?

Iris hippolyti ??

Iris hippolyti ??

Looks a lot like my Iris magnifica - see previous post.

[ebbie]

Thanks Luc and Ralph.

Iris hippolyti is according to Buried Treasurs by Janis "a very dwarf species, reaching only 5-8 cm tall ...". My plant is more than 30 cm high.
At the Iris magnifica I have already thought. But irritates me the origin of "Afghanistan". But maybe Iris magnifica is also present there?

I bought a yellow Juno sp ex Afghanistan from Frank. Because it was from Afghanistan I assumed it had to be something exotic, rare and unusual ........it is however, Iris bucharica.

I would agree with John that your plant looks like Iris magnifica -the natural range of which extends south from Turkmenistan/Uzbekistan into northern Afghanistan.

Boys, Juno magnifica flowers have wings. 

[Jan]

Here you have the whole group

[Jan]

I had a moment to look, that's exactly it.

[Steve Garvie]

Iris warleyensis

Yes, this is it. But is it Iris magnifica?

I see no wings on the falls as magnifica should have.
