Just one of my Irises. This one is supposed to bloom again later in the summer. So far it hasn't done that, so may be false advertising. Oh well, it is beautiful in the spring.
The Iris are at the end of the season at Tucson Botanical Garden. It's ashamed the season is so short for these lovely flowers.

Out of all of the irises next to the house, there are only two flower stalks. I was given these last spring and quickly transplanted them where they took and seemed to be fine. There is just a lack of flowers. My aunt said she got some irises from my other aunt and planted them ten years ago. They are healthy but have never bloomed once.
5/26/07 - Update. I think I may know. I noticed a couple of days ago that a cat had "marked" the plants. Also, the rain from the eaves falls directly on the irises and creates quite a pool. I'll have to move them this fall to a new location. Perhaps on the fence.

Iris graminea is a beardless dwarf spuria iris that grows from a rhizome to 8-18” tall. It is native from Spain to Russia and throughout the Caucasus. In the wild, it comes in a variety of different forms depending on geographic location. Plants from central Europe generally have grass like leaves with flower spikes that are somewhat hidden by the foliage. Each flower spike bears two flowers (to 3” long) which have purple standards, purple style branches and violet falls with violet-veined, yellowish-white hafts. Flowers have a fruity aroma somewhat reminiscent of ripe plums, hence the sometimes used common names for this plant of plum iris or plum-scented iris. Flowers bloom in June. Grassy foliage clump may elongate after bloom. Graminea means grass in obvious reference to the grass-like clump of leaves.
