This plant has absolutely huge flowers, often close to 4 inches in diameter, which is somewhat unusual for a native prairie plant. It will also bloom nearly continuously from spring to late summer.

Nice, traditional looking, plicata. It's a bit of a slow grower.

Alpha Gnu is one of the few broken colored iris I've had that shows vigorous growth. It is roughly equivalent to an Intermediate Bearded Iris in size of the plant, size of the flowers, and time of blooming.

Big, beautiful flowers on a plant that has been a really vigorous grower in my garden.

Nice reverse amoena that has performed well for me. It's provides excellent increase and is a reliable bloomer.

Rapture In Blue is a very interesting older cultivar. The flower opens an ordinary shade of light blue and then gradually fades, perhaps "transforms" would be a better description, to an ethereal shade of silver blue. Normally, flowers changing color wouldn't be considered a good thing, but in this case it really makes 'Rapture In Blue' a special iris.

My favorite light blue iris.

By far the most reliable rebloomer I've grown here in zone 5.
