[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This small bulb is common throughout the Mediterranean region, but also penetrating the semid-deserts in Israel. It used to be called Gynandriris sisyrinchium, but know united with many Moraeas in South Afrcia (its origin). Each plant has normally only 2 leaves and one stem that bears several flowers. The flowers open in the afternoon for a few hours (hence its common name - afternoonn Iris). The small corms produces stolons that bears solitary bulbles in the edge.

A beautiful species Ori, perfectly composed against a natural sandy BG. The strong sunlight illuminated the plant nicely, the sharp focus provides excellent detail, TFS.
