Iris japonica
is an evergreen perennial that grows in colonies in forests. Its
leaves measure 30-60cm in length, 2-3.5cm in width, and are green
and glossy. Flower stalks grow to 30-70cm in height, branching at
the upper parts, and set light white-purple flowers. The flowers,
measuring 4-5cm in diameter, open in the morning and wither in the
evening. Outer perianth lobes cut finely at the edges, giving
orange-yellow dots plus crest-formed projections in the center
portions and light purple dots around them. The inner perianth
segments are small, with their tips cleft in two and finely
aperturate; thus, they resemble petals. Bloom time: April-May. |
