Wow! mine are just starting...the siberians nearly got washed away in the beaver dam flood! They were slow this year but we've had a very cold spring...and it's pouring rain today. Lots of moisture so everything in the garden is looking happy, especially the irises.

I'm glad your Irises didn't get washed away!

I wish I knew the exact name of this large Iris! It's so beautiful and blooms off-and-on throughout most of the year.

do you have a close up of the flower, D1? Does your iris have three petals and three falls? I had a look at the wiki page for Iris...what an over abundance of info! there is a list of south African iris...you might find yours there, perhaps? I'm thankful my irises stayed put...but I lost one of my ligularia and six Iris pseudacorus that I had planted only the day before! I found two in the detritus...but the rest will show up down stream somewhere either this season or next!..at least I'm hopeful!

Crikey Delonix - Iris grow like weeds here!!!!!!

Seriously though, this is merely a member of the Iris family. It looks like Dietes or Moreae species.

Some species grow wild and bloom all year here, also.
