ONCOBREDS 
In this section you will find one of the most interesting types of bearded 
iris grown today. All of them are descendents of iris that come from in and 
around the Holy Land. As a rule it is quite hard to grow these native species, 
but thanks to our modern day hybridizers who have crossed and recrossed

wild species. As a rule most of these listed are quite hardy in the open, but 
some will need a little protection in the coldest areas. In all cases we will
