I had a friend watering the garden; he had instructions to photograph the iris if it bloomed before I got back. I'm glad it waited!

Lovely! How nice that it waited for you to get back from your trip before blooming.

I've been growing Iris serotina from seeds collected in Spain in 2009. I have the first bloom today. The BIS Guide to Species Iris says it is supposed to bloom in August; I guess mine are impatient. This relative of the Dutch iris has some interesting features. It has reduces standards similar to Iris setosa. In addition, the leaves wither by bloom time; only the stem and spathes are still green. Photos attached.
