My lot are coming on a treat in the front garden , one of yours in the corner has produced 4 stems and the colour just staring to show in the buds ... Is it called a stem ? with dayliys its called a "scape" (no leaves except some modified leaves called bracts)

In a British book I have seen the stem called stem, also flower spike, in an American book, flower stalk, so anything goes?

Such a lovely colour . Did you know that the brown Iris use to be used for dyeing cloths or wool.

3pb did you mean Bearded or brown, I knew Beardeds were used in dying, also perfume. (Orris root)

Brown Siris they are grown in a medieval garden here in Coventry for that very reason.

I have never heard of 'Brown Iris'. There are Beadeds with Brown flowers, are those in Coventry Beardeds, please 3pb?

Its flower when I visted the Medieval garden here was flowering Brown it said flag Iris use root to get colour Brown.

Thanks 3pb, I understand now. A bearded Iris is often called a Flag Iris, the one in the Medieval Garden, one with brown flowers. Nowadays all sorts of colours have been developed. I have several in tones of brown, but they are not flowering yet.

I shall look forward to seeing the rest of your Iris of any colour. I found it interesting you can dye with them.
