Iris x germanica L., syn.: Iris germanica L.
Bearded Iris, Common Iris, DE: Deutsche Schwertlilie, Veiglwurz
Slo.: nemška perunika
Dat.: May 5. 2017
Lat.: 45.50831 Long.: 13.92408
Code: Bot_1054/2017_DSC01123
Habitat: grassland land, partly overgrown with bushes and low trees; almost flat terrain, calcareous ground, mostly sunny and dry place, Karst region, elevation 400 m (1.300 feet); average precipitations 1.400 - 1.600 mm/year, average temperature 10-12 deg C, submediterranean phytogeographical region.
Substratum: soil.
Place: Kraški rob, near the road between villages Zazid and Podpeč, below Jamperšnik hill, 649 m, Istria, Slovenia EC
Comment: Latin genus name for irises comes from Greek word 'iris'('viris'), which denotes rainbow or bow and reflects beauty of colors and shapes of these flowers. In deed all twelve species and subspecies of this genus, which grow in Slovenia in the wild, are very beautiful. No wonder, gardeners have cultivated these plants long time ago and have developed many different new forms. Lists of different hybrids and garden forms are known already from ancient times. Many symbols and coat-of-arms, particularly in the history of French dynasty, are based on the plants' flower shape.
Interestingly one of our species growing in the wild, Iris x germanica, is actually an old garden plant, which escaped from gardens back to wild nature. It is actually a hybrid of an unknown origin, or at least of an not yet agreed upon origin. Today it can be found scattered almost in all regions of the Alps as well as in other European mountains and regions. Due to its efficient vegetative propagation it frequently forms large groups of plants with tens of their large (up to 9 x 6 cm), deeply violet flowers. Very beautiful encounters!
Protected according to: Uredba o zavarovanih prostoživečih rastlinskih vrstah, poglavje A, Uradni list RS, št. 46/2004 (Regulation of protected wild plants, chapter A, Official Gazette of Republic Slovenia, no. 46/2004), (2004). All wild growing species of genus Iris are protected in Slovenia.

This is a wild iris that I saw on the edge of a bush lake. It was the only one sitting alone in isolation
