Re: Spuria?


 

Photos I have seen of colchica have flowers very much like graminea but the foliage was a yellow green and quite wide. I am not sure Ellen's plant has wide enough leaves???

I had thought Iris colchica was a synonym of I. graminea but I see that the
Kew Checklist shows it as being an accepted name. Does it differ much from
I. graminea?
