Marte,
I find it interesting that you found a clump of Bearded Irises in the
middle of nowhere. I know that you mention that there has been no human
habitation there for the past 44 years, at least. There is a possibility
that there may have been an old homestead there many years ago, back during
the early part of this century or even in the 1800's.
Here in Kentucky, in the springs, old homestites can be identified by
the presence of blooming Daffodils even though there may be no other sign
of habitation ever having been there. Most likely, this is how those
Irises got there.
