Rafa,  a beautiful coloured form - here the last(?) dark paradoxa is in flower at the moment.
The heavy rain of last month (about 200l/m2 - more than in scotland?) is not good for this delicate plants - softrot is around the corner... ::)

STUNNING pictures!!  That dark form of paradoxa is breathtaking, and the acutiloba and elegantissima!!  :o  I so want to grow them!  ::)

Thanks for taking the time to post the pics everyone.  A real joy at this time of year (early winter here).

Sorry no flowers yet but
I was just checking my seed pots today and noticed that Iris basaltica from 2006 seed from Ian Mitchell in Melbourne had its first new seedling. I rang Ian in excitement and he told me that he believes it is possibly basaltica. He received seeds many years ago ( I believe possibly in the 60s) from an expert in Israel at the time.(he could not remember his name) The atropurpurea turned out to be gatesii and Iris meda was a blue but he felt that all the seeds he received were not pure species.

Truly beautiful.  How do you grow - in a pot or outside in your garden.  Why do you think it is so late in flowering?
