My GUESS, is that this iris is I. nepalensis (AKA I. decora). There is a
photo of it on p.90 of Kohlein's book. This iris has fleshy roots
similar to daylilies. I think it is also known as the 'Vesper iris'
because of it's habit of only opening for about a 1/2 day.
How is iris season going in S.A. Sally?
