Iris x germanica L., syn.: Iris germanica L.Bearded Iris, Common Iris, DE: Deutsche Schwertlilie, VeiglwurzSlo.: nemka perunikaDat.: May 5. 2017Lat.: 45.50831 Long.: 13.92408Code: Bot_1054/2017_DSC01123Habitat: grassland land, partly overgrown with bushes and low trees; almost flat terrain, calcareous ground, mostly sunny and dry place, Karst region, elevation 400 m (1.300 feet); average precipitations 1.400 - 1.600 mm/year, average temperature 10-12 deg C, submediterranean phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil.Place: Kraki rob, near the road between villages Zazid and Podpe, below Jampernik hill, 649 m, Istria, Slovenia EC Comment: Latin genus name for irises comes from Greek word 'iris'('viris'), which denotes rainbow or bow and reflects beauty of colors and shapes of these flowers. In deed all twelve species and subspecies of this genus, which grow in Slovenia in the wild, are very beautiful. No wonder, gardeners have cultivated these plants long time ago and have developed many different new forms. Lists of different hybrids and garden forms are known already from ancient times. Many symbols and coat-of-arms, particularly in the history of French dynasty, are based on the plants' flower shape. Interestingly one of our species growing in the wild, Iris x germanica, is actually an old garden plant, which escaped from gardens back to wild nature. It is actually a hybrid of an unknown origin, or at least of an not yet agreed upon origin. Today it can be found scattered almost in all regions of the Alps as well as in other European mountains and regions. Due to its efficient vegetative propagation it frequently forms large groups of plants with tens of their large (up to 9 x 6 cm), deeply violet flowers. Very beautiful encounters!Protected according to: Uredba o zavarovanih prostoiveih rastlinskih vrstah, poglavje A, Uradni list RS, t. 46/2004 (Regulation of protected wild plants, chapter A, Official Gazette of Republic Slovenia, no. 46/2004), (2004).

Iris pseudacorusYellow Iris, DE: Gelbe SchwertlilieSlo.: vodna perunikaDat.: June 22. 2012Lat.: 46.34037 Long.: 13.56078Code: Bot_633/2012_IMG9892Habitat: in a dense thicket of wet marsh; a long time ago abandoned, manmade, large size clay pit; now almost full of nearby stream deposits, thrown away construction material and other garbage; among tall herbs, shrubs and trees; mostly several Salix sp., Acer pseudoplatanus, Acer negundo, Fraxinus excelsior, Fraxinus ornus, Euonymus europaea, Cornus sanguinea, Corylus avellana, etc.; flat terrain, thick muddy ground, cretaceous clastic rock (flysh), humid place, usually flooded during rainy periods; mostly in shade, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C, elevation 450 m (1.500 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: clayey soil with lot of humus.Place: Bovec basin, northeast of town Bovec, 'Frnjaa' place, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia ECComment: I found the leaves of this beautiful Iris in summer 2011, however I didn't recognize them convinced that Iris pseudacorus is quite rare and doesn't grow in this part of Slovenia. It can be found mainly on wet, low land places of east and central part of the country. The leaves resembles strongly to Iris genus, but were much too large for other options of wild species of this genus, which grow in Slovenia. I thought that the leaves had to belong to some garden plant, which escaped into wild. This was quite probable since the place was a kind of semiruderal terrain and not far from the nearest houses of town Bovec. Only later, after seeing fruits and flowers, we realized that it is indeed Iris pseudacorus. This find was the first and is, even today, the only known place where it grows wild in northwest Slovenia.Protected according to 'Uredba o zavarovanih prostoiveih rastlinskih vrstah'Ur.l. RS, t.46/2004 ('Regulation of protected wild plants', Official Gazette RS, No.46/2004).
