Iris versicolor.

Joe

Hi,
It is not Iris versicolor. Iris versicolor is a tall plant. Are they blooming now?
Remy

Judging by the description...height 4" - 5"...they are possibly one of the dwarf Iris reticulata.

Hi again,
It is not Iris reticulata either. Iris reticulata bloom very early in spring and grows from bulbs not fibrous roots as described above.

The problem is there are hundreds of wild iris species and thousands of garden forms. Without some background information you probably won't get a name for this one unless you happen to run into it in another garden or a nursery, or on the internet. Possibly taking flowering specimens to any iris society shows that might be held near you at the same time could produce a name. Be sure to verify any you are offered by reading descriptions - do not rely on pictures alone.

If there is an iris nursery within your range of movement they might also be able to help. It depends on what kinds of irises they are familiar with, bearded irises of course being the dominant offering.

Ding!

Carol23_gw I wasn't able to go see the 1 posting that You made This Iris

HU , this post is eleven years old! You should search on line for " Iris ruthernica" for information. One of the friends identifying this passed away many years ago. With lots of years passing , sites change, links are removed, etc.
