While researching a type of weird iris that I dug up in Florida and moved to my NC garden, I found this post in Dave\'s. owing to the strange shape of the petals, I think it\'s a Spuria, maybe Amanda\'s Eyes. It is amongst some daylilies in clay soil that never gets watered, alongside my driveway. I found another iris similar to this shape in my shade garden that bloomed for the first time this early summer from planting so long ago that I have forgotten where I got it from and what it\'s called. Totally care free, obviously. This fall I am moving the small clumps to areas where they will receive better conditions, and where I can view the exquisite blooms.
