Inter species crosses with I. pseudacorus
Grandchildren of the yellow flag, the ancestry is still mysterious. All are
interesting yellow flowers with fascinating brown line patterns in the petals.

Like Phil Edinger but only a few brown veins from red-brown signals. |
Pseudatas: I. pseudacorus crossed with Japanese Iris (I. ensata)
All of these plants (with the exception of Chance Beauty) tend to have yellow
foliage, but it does not seem to affect their vigor. Bred to introduce yellow
which is lacking in Japanese iris flowers, they have interesting colors and
patterns.

Iris versicolor / virginica. The native
northern and southern 'blue flags' that grow in shallow water and along the edge
of streams. Branched stems bloom at about 20-30" if grown well in moist,
organic rich soil. Hybrids of the two are called robusta.

grows in or at the edge of shallow water. They have narrow or spear shaped
signals and wider foliage that is more arching than the Japanese iris. The
blooms are more pendant and open in form than the Japanese and the plants grow
about 20" in the garden and about 30+" in water. Prefer full sun.
Bloom about two weeks before Japanese iris.
