Obviously this is an iris but I dont know what kind, the foliage seems more prone to disease than my other iris and now I have this bloom on a short little stalk. What is this stuff ? The bloom is light purple though it may look a little blue in my digital photo.

It looks like some type of crested iris. Tectorum, perhaps? I'm not personally familiar with any of the cresteds other than cristata.

It sure is a beauty! Check the tectorums here.

To me it looks like l. tectorum or Freckletec. I am trying to find out more info. seems it can take very different conditions from my regular TB so I plan to move it soon :)
I have some of these. They do great in a boggy area, around a pond, etc. They're commonly called Roof Iris.
Hey, I have some of those - given to me by a neighbor. I have them basically sitting on the ground instead of in the ground, and they're blooming like crazy. Little beauties, aren't they?
