Species Iris, Purdy's Iris

Per Roger Raiche. Designer, Naturalist, Botanist and Licensed Contractor at Planet Horticulture Landscape Design & Construction from Guer...Read Moreneville, CA.:
"This is one Purdy iris, Iris purdyi, which grows in a limited stretch of the road into The Cedars, but is not on serpentine here. As a species, it tends to replace Coast iris, Iris douglasiana as one moves into the interior woodlands. It is usually this color - cream with stenciling, or pale blue - and because the standards are floppy, it has a flatter look than many of our other native species."
