CULT:Unknown iris

The picture looked like a spuria to me.

If the plant is a dutch, the foliage is very narrow and it will die back 
and completely disappear.  Most other iris foliage stays around.  
Spuria foliage is much wider and never completely dies back for me 
though it may in drier climates.  In my experience Dutch foliage is 
the first to die back of the taller types.
