Ah, so there are "space ager" dwarf beardeds now?  I had wondered whether anyone was developing and releasing them.  Good stuff!!  8)

A sibling to 'Punk', again with a horn, 'Outrage'.  Very floriferous, but the flowers seem to last only 2 days.

Excuse the poor foto.  Mowed the lawn ;D

Luc, I only bought it last year so that's the first and only flower it has this year, I can't wait to see it in a couple of years when it is a big clump. If you want to I can put you on the list to receive a piece.

That is a little gem Gerd.  Will it make seed in your garden?  ... I hope so ;)

Surprisingly this species grows as easy as 'normal' Iris ruthenica.
Never had problems with it.

Nevertheless thanks for the compliments alltogether.

Lovely pictures Gerd of a delightful iris. I find it gets a bit scuffy as it ages but my clump is probably 50cms across now. It is not very happy about division (probably because the very tough roots go down at least 50cms or more) and I expect to lose part of it when I do that. But it's a delightful species.
