So it is an Japanese Iris. It didn't look like the ones I looked at. How can you tell it is an Japanese Iris?

The yellow signal arrow is the biggest tip-off. Then the form - the graceful drape of wide falls - and the color of this one. I like the 3-petaled Japanese.

It does look a lot like Caesar's Brother in the first picture. The second picture reveals it as a JI. Absolutely beautiful by any name!

Do JI come true from seeds? I harvested some more seeds from it and would like to grow some more.
