I have a similar plant growing in my back yard under fir trees in the shade. Every year there are only about 5 or so plants that come up. They are about 12 - 18 inches high and the flower is about 4 inches across. Mine aren't as dark as mydaisy's and mine have some speckles on them. Someone here in Oregon told me they were wild iris, but after reading all the possibilities already mentioned I'm not sure of that. Sundry might have named mine correctly as the Iris hexagona. Do you think this needs more sunlight to multiply?
