A friend brought this from her grandmother's garden in England.
Could it be an iris x fulvala?

Thanks, ROX

The height is about 1-1.5 feet and I grow it in direct sunlight in relatively dry soil.
It seems healthy but after we ID it, I might want to move it.

I agree that it looks like a Louisiana Iris, but they generally need consistantly moist soil. Hmmm...

Dear all-
Thanks for trying to help me ID this one. I really appreciate it.

I think it is lovely too and I will try to divide it this year so I can move some to a wetter spot to see how it does. I'll let you know.

P.S. I searched for a photo of Dorothy Williamson and couldn't find one. Let me know if you can.
