This must be one of the most attractive iris - I remember the fabulous potfulls of it shown by Richard Lilley at SRGC shows - breath-takingly beautiful flowers.

Sadly I have not been able so far to locate any photos of Richard's exceptional pots of Iris nusariensis - but here are a couple of others winning Forrest Medals from show reports in the SRGC journal -  the first from Lionel Clarkson at his home show in 2005


 and the second from James Cobb at Stirling in 2006

Just starting is iris nusairiensis from Syria.

Is someone cultivating the white form ?  It's one of my wish list !
Luc, this has to be one of the best selections of Iris nusairiensis.  So short!

Still looking great Luc.  My I. nusairiensis is further behind but Iris svetlane is flowering now.

I now have Iris nusairiensis four years without a single flower. What am I doing wrong?

Here the Juno Iris bloom significantly later than in Majorca, England, Scotland or Belgium. Two of the color quite similar species
 Iris rosenbachiana 'Tovil Dara'
 Iris galatica

An outstanding plant. 

I hope I live long enough to see my plant fill a pot like yours.
