I have one new plant of a small species iris whose label I've
misplaced. I think it is Iris chrysophylla (chrystophora...something
like that). Northwest native, I recall, small rhizomatous plant to about
8-10inches, leaves narrow, grasslike. Flowers white with intricate blue
purple veination.
If anyone has any info on such a plant, I'd love to hear about it. It
wasn't
in any of my reference books. I don't even know the culture, but it is
doing
fine under normal garden conditions in sun with even watering.
