In flower today from seeds kindly given to me by Rafa in 2008.
Thanks Rafa. ;)

Very nice Oron, I hope Lesley sees it she will like it a lot.

Very beautiful plant Oron! A hybrid which could occure naturally?
-
Hans, this is possible, because in certain places in Spain they grow in the same places, but they bloom with a month of separation. The plant of Oron is an Iris xiphium, although the seeds were collected in a intermediate plant between both species. I didn't saw the the mother plant, so as I. xiphium is so variable, it could be possible to find certain resemblances with I . filifolia.
This hybrid is not described in Flora Iberica, I think, so I will try to find it this year.

A fine flower - great colours!

Dear Rafa
Thanks for this information,
I still have more seedlings that would flower next year, so may be there is still a chance to see an hybrid...
although i really don't mind to have the species it self, it is a beauty and flower is still in good shape after a week.

Oron, hopefully among them is the glorious form with pale sky blue standards and deepest ultramarine blue falls.

Very nice Oron, I hope Lesley sees it she will like it a lot.
She has done, and she does. :D

Lovely bloom Oron - and Rafa of course as the source of the seed.

Thanks to all,

Alberto that sounds wonderful, i hope one of the seedlings is from this form.
