Doubled Iris flowers [2 Attachments]

 

Recently a double Iris was shown to the list. 


I have seen double flowers of several Iris species; my eyes always lit up, but double flowers did not recur in following years, nor did the seeds of a double parent produce doubles. From this I speculate that doubling in Iris can be a developmental phenomenon, like fasciation in lilies. 

Photos of a few Iris doubles follow. 

First: Two Iris douglasiana flowers noticed this week in a large patch of douglasiana in our garden.
