Description
 
Seed collected at 3200 meters in Sichuan in an open grazed small meadow area adjoining low scrub.  Tightly clumping, deciduous and allied to Iris japonica but is something totally new. Small blue flowers are laddered down the stems in the leaf axils.  This has baffled some of the top authorities on Chinese Iris both here in the US and in the UK which quite honestly makes us very happy.  Nothing like introducing a species nova to quicken the pulse!  We expect this to be hardier than the zone 6 we are giving it but are being our usual conservative selves until we learn differently from those of you who will try this in colder zones.
