Re: ID please - Iris lacustris

 

Height sounds right. Flowers are often only about 3/4" across.

It isn't fussy about temperature. It is  very fussy re sun and moisture.

What are moisture and sun conditions it survives in?

Lacustris seems to prefer dappled sun or shade and likes to be well drained and kept moist. Likes high humidity.

Grows in  gravel/sand and in  soil found at edge of shores next to forest.

Thank all responding.
It's heigt is about 3 inches.
This clone is widely distributed between gardeners in Almaty, Kazakhstan under name Iris lacustris.
So now I'm sure it is true name.
Almaty is quite hot in summer and cold in winter so this clone is not so demanding.

What is it's height?

Could be lacustris, but  height  is the  best distinguishing feature of the two.

What is the condition you are growing it in?  Cristata is relatively easy to grow.
Lacustris can be very demanding of growing conditions.
