Iris versicolor
A beautiful bunch of purple irises in the wild.
Grassy meadow.
It is differentiated from I. prismatica, which is also found on Staten Island, by the width of its leaves.
Yes, that sure looks like a Blue Flag Iris. I also see them in Texas so their range is pretty extensive.
Also, I was wondering if anyone could check the current ID against Iris versicolor, Blue Flag Iris.
That's a shame, Larry since I thought they had pretty blue hues in person. Not an issue, though!
Hi Mauna! Lovely spotting. I have edited these lovely purple Iris out of the color blue mission.
Hmm, Ali, I can't find any info on the Kumoan iris online. Kind of strange! So, I take it this species was introduced to the US?
