Iris innominata

Iris innominata

Native to northern California and southwest Oregon, Iris innominata is (like many irises) highly variable in flower colour, ranging from mostly purple with a bit of yellow to yellow throughout to cream with splashes of yellow and purple venation like this one.

Apologies for the short note today, as I'm off on a field trip. Need more photographs!

Daniel Mosquin commented:

Robmonday, if you are looking locally, it seems like Fraser's Thimble Farms on Salt Spring Island has a number of the plants for sale. I'm uncertain about how difficult it would be to get these particular colours - it seems this combination is less common than others. Doesn't hurt to call and ask, though.
