Iris douglasiana is the "coast iris" native to the coastal region of
California into Oregon. It is probably the most important species
behind the Pacific Coast hybrids. It is an ancestor to most of them
and provides gardenability as well as nice flower form and a range
of colors.
The Univerisity of California Berkeley Botanical garden has an extensive
collection of wild-collected forms. I have a web page with pictures
of some of them.
