Thanks for the info, Chuck. 
 
We're quite excited to find these little beauties, all within the last few weeks.  People are also starting to bring more species iris to our CWIS iris show, plus also bring them to us to help id them.
 
I have another picture to send shortly, from someone in Saskatchewan.

Halophila has lots of seeds and they germinate  readily.
So no real surprize.

You now have four of the five colour forms of halophila. This is the blue with yellow lines. The only colour form to yet show up is the white with yellow lines.  I'm sure it will also show up in this farmland planting.  It would seem settler had brought seed with them.

They are best moved in fall after fall rains have started. May survive at other times if moved carefully and kept wet.
