I believe several years ago on the forum it was pointed out to me that some
clones of setosa do have standards.

Ken,
You make a good point about a "wild" iris not
necessarily being native.
However, despite the lack of standards on
most of the flowers, there are
standards in some of the pictures,
indicating that the plants are not I.
setosa. The middle flower in the
first photo shows one standard hanging
down, nearly falling off the
flower. Photo 5 & 6 show a bloom with two
relatively large standards.
In fact the standards seem a bit large for
I. versicolor, and are curving
in instead of out. Something seems to be
eating standards. Some of the
falls show munching along the edges.
In photos 5 & 6, you can also
see a perianth tube on both the foreground
bloom and a spent bloom in the
background. Aren't the tubes rather large
for I. versicolor? Or is it
within the species' variation?
