Couldn't agree more !!
The attica clump would surely make a first on any of the AGS or SRGC shows !! :o :o

All forms of reichenbachii are very attractive too !

More beauties Chris !

I've got some (younger) plants flowering as well :

1 and 2 : Iris taurica
3 and 4 : Iris suaveolens

Too bad the flowers only last a couple of days...  :'( (if you're lucky...  ;) )

Lovely Irises Chris and Luc. Just a point Luc, I. taurica is a synonym of I. pumila. Chris, I don't think I have seen named forms of I. reichenbachii and I. suaveolens before, do you think the forms deserved to be named? I thought I. reichenbachii 'Poboinik' was very different but the others, beautiful as they were, looked to be within an acceptable difference to the type.

While knowing nothing of the middle European languages, I'm thinking the names attached may be geographical areas Chris? They are all little gems, no doubt of that.

Super Iris species & hybrids with attractive color forms from Hans, Chris and Luc! :o 8)
That clump of I. attica is showy ;D

I have a blue form of I. pumila since 2 years - but no signs of flower buds yet :-\
It is sitting in a sunny position in the raised bed. It is slow in growing but looks very healthy.
Does I. pumila need a special treatment to set flowers?

Little beauties Luc!

For reichenbachii read pumila!
David, I have quite a few reichenbachii and suaveolens which are different to each other, my own material. The naming helps me distinguish them. All have differences in shade, markings etc. Eg. 'Kraciv Greben'  is lighter than 'Kraciv Greben 2' and does not have a darker mark to the lip. ( Kraciv Greben = Beautiful Comb ) Some differences are minor, some are major, 'Poboinik' ( Poboinik = Bruiser ) is a cross between very pale yellow and purple reichenbachii, effectively just a natural variation. What exactly do 'Type' and 'acceptable difference' look like in this context? I use the naming to distinguish a particular cultivar from which I will vegetatively propogate and make crosses ( I could use numbers, not as pretty though ).
'Do they deserve to be named'.....I guess that's a perosnal opinion,I would say yes, but then I have a thing about these species and look for both major nd minor differences, you may well ask how many Galanthus forms deserve to be named.................................... ;) ;)

Lesley, names are derrived from features, 'Julta Radost' = Yellow Joy, 'Tumen Prakh'= Dark Dust

Armin,

I've done nothing special to my I. pumila, other than they are in a pan and not in the garden.  They like a hot dry Summer and well drained soil, but otherwise are pretty easy.  Maybe a bit of fertilizer helps, as potted plants do get fertilized a bit more heavily than garden plants with me.

So good to see these little irises.  Great photos.  They do grow well from seed and once they clump a bit they can look pretty amazing - a clump has the added advantage of flowering longer. I have hand pollinated to get seed but I have a feeling they would do it themselves anyway.
As mine are in the garden they get a very hot summer.
