yellow walking iris
Originally from South America and the West Indies, it is now widely naturalized throughout the tropics. As the 'walking' portion of the name implies, the Yellow Walking Iris produces young plantlets on the spent flowering stems and once they are large and heavy enough the supporting stem will be pulled to the ground where the young plantlets can root into the soil and grow.
