Unidentified Siberian(?) Iris
(I hate it when I lose the tags!)
This Iris grows in a clump next to my pond, in a constantly damp location. It is 18 inches tall, with 3 flowers per spike. Can you help me identify it, please?

These are Cedar Hill flowers!

Weezie - (I hope you're talking to me... [grin]

) I just planted the black and blue salvia and crocosmia (along with Mexican feather grass and red "Flame" salvia) about 6 weeks ago, and haven't cut any for the house, so I don't know how long a vase life they'll have... but they sure do look purty in my garden. [Big Grin]

If it ever stops raining here, I'll go out and try to get a last picture of my Forget-me-not. I think it fits in this category!
