Re: Spuria?

 

El; I really like this flower with its fine edge of yellow on the petals. I have not looked at my spuria files for sometime but I would definitely say this is Iris spuria. Since Mathew includes a whole bunch of what are called species under subspecies of spuria you can be confident it is a spuria. But it would be nice to pin down the subspecies, carthaliniae, or halophila  may be possibilities. I could rule out kerneriana since every picture I have seen is more branched and a finer less broad plant. If it form seeds I would like a few especially if they could come while fresh from the pod. I would send postage.

This beauty was bloomng when I got home today.  It was given to me by a friend who says it's the first iris she saw as a child, growing around her Mother's and aunt's country places for well over 50 yrs.  That's about 60 or so miles west of here.
 
Does it look like a species spuria?
