On Marte and the mystery iris,
Page xiv of the introduction of Lauren Spring's THE UNDAUNTED GARDEN )which
is on western arid land gardening) has a photograph of iris growing alone in
a lonesome Wyoming location.
The photograph is of iris flavescens and description reveals it common in the
west in the vicinity of abandoned homesteads.
There is also a full page photograph adjacent showing this iris in full
bloom.
Your library should have this book, it's subject being a northern Colorado
garden. There is good information on arid land horticulture as well.
