Re: African Iris bloom!

I'm sure it came from seeds you sent- does it look different than yours?? And actually, now that I look at the Dietes photos, I know I have these already in the side area outside my fence. But, the little flower that is blooming in the photos I posted, is definitely not the same plant. The flowers are much smaller and not so flat as the Dietes (aka butterfly iris in the big box stores here). So..... wonder what my little mystery iris is?

Hi all- the seeds that Island Jim sent me some time ago have grown very
nicely. Now I have a lovely new flower in my garden! Jim, do you know
the botanical name for this lovely plant? Thank you!
