Blue Flag Iris

its a very pretty flower. I've see one that looks just like this growing wild in some places in Alaska.

@Heather, I used wikipedia but it took a lot of digging around. I haven't been able to find a good online flower guide yet.

what site are you looking for to identify the irises?

After looking for some images of Blue iris you mentioned, i think it is the same.
Thank you :)

It looks a lot like a blue flag iris. Iris virginica shrevei
but not quite. pretty sure its an iris of some kind.

Iridaceae
