Beautiful little iris. Have these in my garden and lots on the mountain. Can’t wait to see them bloom again.
We just saw many of these in the uplands of Red River Gorge Geological Area, KY on April 5, 2023. I only found a single one in bloom, but they will all be spectacular in a few days. I’m familiar with the crested dwarf iris, so this variety discovery was new to me. SO beautiful and graceful.
