Iris unguicularis
Joy Creek Photo Archive (c) all rights reserved
Some years Iris unguicularis begins blooming in late autumn and then repeats in the late winter. The flowers bloom within long grass-like evergreen foliage, perhaps seeking its protection. Not showy from a distance but a breath of fresh air at a difficult time of year. We treasure the lavender-blue flowers with yellow blazes on their falls.

(Late autumn), late winter and early spring.  12 in.
