OK, after some doubts about names I put herbariums to show differences between species, but for me it is not important.

It is Iris avromanica, collected in Iran

Da! Yes!

Thank you, Dmitrij! I'm not so often on Plantarium, so not easy to follow all rules. Now finished scanning of old pictures and due Covid what cancelled a lot of activities, now I have free time, checking some plants, pictures etc. and so I can put something from my collection of some 5000 samples of bulbous plants.
I can't understand negative vote (zamileno) on Gymnospermium darwasicum. Both pictures are very sharp, best quality. May be due resizing according Plantrarium rules they are not so good for printing, but I can't see any faults on published pictures.

Type collection means that this plant was used for type herbarium when I published this species as subsp. henrikii of Allium karataviense. The collecting data is the same as on other pictures of this taxa uploaded by me today - 2nd May, 1996 (just checked my diary of that year).

Allium hissaricum belongs to completely different group of Allium species - sect. Regeloprason and closest relatives are A.A. darwasicum, lipskyanum, sochense. A. nevskianum and alexeianum belongs to sect. Kaloprason

By the way - all former pictures on Plantarium labelled as Allium alexeianum, really are A. nevskianum. In 1982, when I collected the first bulbs from this complex in Varzob gorge, initially I identified them as A. alexeainum, too. I was very inexperienced and only started my collections, but later I soon discovered mistake. There is excellent publication about CA Allium taxonomy in which you will found following key:

40. Flowers broadly funnel-shaped, tepals lanceolate, patent, dirty red or greenish-brown, in the dry state prickly by a thick stiff median vein (77) Allium alexeianum
40* Flowers narrower funnel-shaped, tepals narrowly lanceolate, somewhat recurved, pink to purplish, in the dry state soft becoming only crumbled (79) Allium nevskianum

See: A Preliminary Review of Allium subg. Melanocrommyum in Central Asia by Reinhard M. Fritsch. Leibniz-Institut für Pflanzengenetik und Kulturpflanzenforschung Gatersleben (IPK), 2016

Unfortunately it was not published in printed form (lacking of financing) but only on internet. Another paper about Alliums of Iran is in printed form, too.

Yes, this one picture and another one of same plant in cultivation.

cultivated in my garden, Latvia, Cesis distr. Jaunrujas

Crocus puringii until recently was regarded as a population of C. speciosus growing in Crimea, although quite long ago, in 1983, C. Brighton, B. Mathew and P. Rudall had established that the plants from Crimea have a different chromosome number and a completely different chromosome morphology. The same high chromosome number (2n=18) is found only in one other sample from S Turkey (S of Beyşehir, Konya Province, most likely C. brachyfilus) but its chromosomes are of dissimilar morphology and the distance between the two species is far too long to imply identity.
Crocus speciosus has 2n=14 and of very different morphology (plants from Georgia and Armenia, Brighton et al., 1983).

We are living in separate house. In Latvian country houses has names, they are not localities. Our house-name is Jaunrujas and by present administrative division of Latvia we are living in Pargaujas novads (oblastj), vilage (selsovet) Raiskums, dom (xutor) Jaunrūjas. V sovetskoje vremja nazivalosj Cesiskij raion, selsovet Raiskums, xutor Jaunrujas. No mi poljzujemsja uslugami pochtovovo otdjelenija v sosednem sele Stalbe, chto blizhe k nashemu domu. Poetomu pochtovij adress inoi.

Relating dates of pictures. As they are cultivated plants, the date is not so important - it changes from year to year. All our bulbs are grown inside polytunnels, so blooming time in open garden would be different. Reticulate irises (170 samples, acquisitions/losses of 2018 not included) blooms in March, together with crocuses (1717 samples, last acquisitions not included)) or slightly later. Nursery is not large - under cover in total 1000 sq.m., perennials (non-bulbous) are grown outside (around 0.5 ha) apr.1000 names. We are working 3 persons - I, my wife and daughter, with help of granddaughter and occasionally I'm asking some neighbour to help with heavy jobs, as preparing of soil mix (I'm 73).
