Dear Jana/Mary Sue and all;
So common in China that it's common name is simply "Iris".
This is a typical Iris tectorum. Although commonly known in the US as
Japanese Roof Iris, it is neither native to Japan or typically found
on roofs.
It is a crested Iris (Lophiris) easy from seed and also
available in a lovely white form. Widely adaptable and may grow in
shade and sun in a variety of climates. In bloom ere now, too.
Best Jim W.
