Subject: Re: [iris-photos] i.
Albicans?
I am pretty confident that it is albicans, but I welcome any dissenting
views. It is always hard to identify plants from photos but considering the
other choice is probably I. florentina i think the branching is more like
albicans. I have been having a hard time finding a photo that would show the
short stubby branches and spurs typical of albicans for the encyclopedia and
this is the best shot of that feature I have seen. Would you allow me to use
it with credit of course?

three years ago I found this iris growing in an abandoned cemetery. Most of
the headstones in that cemetery were dated in the late 1800's. I commented
"My kind of flower. It has grown here for at least a hundred years with no
help from a human hand." My sister found a bag and gathered us a start. I
realize they could have been planted at a later date, but the cemetery has
not been tended for a long time and I think they couldn't have been much
later than the early 1900's.
