Thank you Pat! They seem to be growing quite well. Hopefully I will be lucky enough for having an increased population for next year!

Wonderful plants everyone!

Juan, very nice Iris, It is exacly started to flower here too.
It seems to like your local conditions which are pretty similar to Israel.

Here is a picture of my Iris palaestina which started to bloom later than usual as the rains this year started only in December.
You can notice the blue form next to the common form.

   Miriam: very beautiful I. palaestina clump. The beautiful blue color in your Iris appear also in mine, but only when the flower gets its complete maturity, almost begining its decay:looks like a desperate effort for looking even more attractive for insects to pollinate it before it begins to wither. The pictures shown below are of the same flower:the first one was taken on Jan.19th(as shown in my former pictured post, but I put it again here to make it easier to compare), and the last ones were taken this evening, 21st. See how diferently coloured they look!
   I´m glad my Irises flowered at the same time than yours: looks like they feel quite at home! Your are lucky to live in a country wich hosts such unbelievable diversity of Iris species, of such a stunning beauty that the only word I can think of when browsing the web to admire them is "Magical".

Superb Junos Alex!
Do you still know the origin of your galatica? Here is growing a very similar one which unfortunately belongs to the "lost lable section".

Here (again ::)) a picture of Iris persica.

I am in awe of what some of the members grow :o :o :o
Sure hope some of them result in seed being donated to seed exchanges. ;)
