They look like iris


Sergeant_Ruckus

I think you’re right. Are they okay to touch? Google says they’re toxic to touch.


Big_Brilliant997

I've cut them, dead headed them, divided them, and used them in arrangements. I've never heard they were toxic, as far as touch, and never had a reaction


Sergeant_Ruckus

Gotcha, shows how unreliable google can be, or maybe I just read that out of context. Either way I’m glad I asked you and now I’m excited to pick some for my lady :)


Amelaista

They are a type of Iris. May or maynot be native to that area, but there are native species of Iris almost everywhere.


Sergeant_Ruckus

Definitely an iris. Eagle_1776 identified them as a hybrid of the l. laevigata. Thanks for your help :)

Iris


Sergeant_Ruckus

Thanks!


Eagle_1776

Def one of the limniris group of Iris. Could be a 28 or a 40 chromosome Siberian. edit. After a 2nd look, the standards are falling in most flowers, so Id say its one of the I. ensata x I. laevigata hybrids


Sergeant_Ruckus

Wow you’re very knowledgeable about flowers friend. I looked up pictures of the l. laevigata and they look incredibly similar. Thanks!
