The Bearded Iris I found dumped by the bowling green....


The Bearded Iris I found dumped by the bowling green.... (iris)

I found these more than 25 years ago when walking past the bowling green one day. Someone, probably from the nearby housing estate, had thrown a big pile of them onto the grass cuttings pile. My friend and I rescued some of them and I love them, splitting them many times over the years. My friend still has hers.

Yes, obviously an historic , a really good doer, looks like the one I call early purple, don't recall where mine came from. It deserves to grow.

I think Homebird, this is the original wild form of Iris germanica.
