It sounds to me like you're referring to Siberian Iris, but I'd have to see a picture of the foliage to know for sure.

Wish I would have had my camera with me yesterday. I stopped at a small public garden and they had about a 12 foot row of Caeser's Brother Siberian Iris along one side of a fountain and they were gorgeous. First time I have ever seen them in a mass grouping like that. Very impressive.

Net, I have a photo of Western KY Gardens posted in Photos. You can check that out. It is large clumps of Siberian Iris.

What iris with tall leaves have blooms that go up the stalk? more than one bloom on a stalk. My Mom has some that she calls Spiro. Could those be the Spuria? I thought they might be some type of Siberian, but they have several blooms per stalk. Any ideas what they might be?
