One of three hundred

Who knew there are three hundred species of Iris? The petals on these blooms are more narrow than the purple Bearded Iris that we see so often. When I looked at Garden Answers I couldn’t decide if it is Russian Iris or maybe Toughleaf Iris. Anyway, it’s purple and that’s the important thing today.
