There is one that is ubiquitous all over Turkey, at least in the west; I
believe it's I. germanica. Here it's very common in cemetaries, and
associated with them by many folks. (Cemetaries are arguably some of the
most beautiful places in Istanbul, though you won't see it mentioned in the
guide books.) It's a bearded iris, around 50 cm high (but can be taller),
purple flowers.

Alice laughed. 'There's not use trying,' she said: `one can't believe
impossible things.'
'I daresay you haven't had much practice,' said the Queen. `When I was your
age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as
many as six impossible things before breakfast...'
