Re: Iris wattii

My brother is a lot larger than I, in every dimension. Otherwise, we are practically identical. Could we possibly be separate species?

Here is a photo of Iris wattii that I bought from from M & C Willets,
Rare Bulb Growers (Bulbmania.com) in 2001. Originally I was thinking it
was a large I. confusa because the flowers are so much smaller than the
Johnson Clone. The two species do seem only to be distinguished by the
size of the flowers, but the dividing line is between 5 and 6 cm. These
blooms are 7 cm from the tip of one fall to the tip of the opposite
standard.
