Bill,
You got me on this one. Native plant information indicates that the
plant growing wild in Citrus and Levy Counties is Iris hexagona.
Also, I noticed that on Rodney Barton's North American Native Iris
Site, Iris verna is listed as being native to Florida. I am wondering if
it would grow here in the hills on the north side of Dunnellon. I am
located about 40 miles south-southwest of the Interstate 75/Florida 121
interchange in Gainesville.
