On the PBS wiki, the genus Iris should probably be broken down into groups,
such as Juno Iris, western American Iris, Oncocyclus Iris, etc. Until then,
I present this Iris here, a fabulous miniature Oncocyclus Iris from central
Asia. This species has very small, firm foliage and immense (by comparison)
flowers of indescribable color and intricate markings, on a 3"-4" (7.5 - 10
cm) stem. The scented flowers are tan and purplish, heavily patterned with
dark purple. I have it growing in a raised sand bed... it's an AWESOME
plant. Considerable thanks to the person that shared this with me.
