I'd never seen these before. Had to do a bit of googling, but figured out that it's an iris crocus.
Both these varieties were in the same yard. I stumbled on it when I took a detour on my bike. I think I'll have to go by that house later in the year to see if they grow anything else interesting.

ReplyDeleteI have a few purple ones growing at Mr. Yogato in DC.
Ooo. Thanks for the botanical name. I'll have to chant it a few times to remember. Iris reticulata. Iris reticulata. Iris reticulata! ...Sounds like I'm trying to learn a magical spell :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I missed that post of yours...
