Russian irises

---

On a completely unrelated note, I came across this Russian online
flora, which I see Yuri Pirogov already posted links to Iris
tenuifolia from a while back. There are great photos of a lot more
species, including many in habitat. For example:

The rest of the irises are here:

If you prefer, paste the link into Google first, and it will give you
the option to translate the whole site into English, as long as you
don't mind eccentricities like translating the apple genus Malus as
"the evil man" instead of leaving it in Latin.
