I think the AGS show goniocarpa must be wrongly named. It certainly looks like my barbatula and not very like a pseudoregelia which tend to have spotting or mottling on the flowers. Below is a picture of my I. hookeriana (not hookeri), typically regelian. :D

Lesley, that flower belongs on Star Trek! Fab!
Here I offer ( I think ) Iris reichebachii, but let me know if anyone thinks otherwise.

I know I'm far behind most of you, but now at last flowering has started also north of the Arctic circle.
This Iris, which I bought as I. hyrcana Talish, is always the first spring Iris to flower in my garden. It greeted me yesterday morning, in a place that the previous day was still covered with ice and snow. The ground is still frozen around the plant, but it doesn't seem to mind. As I understand this Iris should now be called I. reticulata v hyrcana.

Magnar,
WOW! I am almost envious, you have it all to come yet!
Super looking Iris and coping so well out in the open garden.

I've found some nice forms of Iris chamaeiris in the south of France, near Cannes.

Very dark form





bicolor form



and as I don't want to put them twice, here is the link to another post with some more Iris pic here : http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=3399.0
