"But of the Oncocyclus Iris, none. They are a doomed and lonely race of irreconcilable Troades in silken crepe, sullenly and grandly unresigned to exile and captivity passing out of their captor's hands in a last defiant blaze of dark and tragic magnificence."
That's not necessarily the case in dry climates. Here are a few pictures of some Onocyclus--and mostly Oncobred irises--in my garden this past spring. Names will come if clamored for (they were all labeled)...The first is a regelia--first cousin to Onco. Iris stolonifera 'Barr's form'
