Re: Spuria?

The only known location of Iris virginica in Canada is Point Pele, in Southern Ontario.  Quite a few  zones warmer then Winnipeg Manitoba. 

Several clumps of Iris x robusta  have been located in more northern regions  of Ontario, but without any coresponding colonies of Iris virginica. (personal communication , Tony Huber)

I have found several versicolors  in wild with  wide leaves, and quite a variation in  flower and bud count.  One of the best is a versicor collected in  Nova Scotia.  It wasn't in bloom at time I collected it, and because of width of leaves I had at first glance had thought it was  a pseudacorous.
