Neomarica, Giant Apostles' Iris, Walking Iris 'Regina' (Neomarica caerulea)
My second year of blooms from Neomarica Caerulea 'regina'. Plants are 4 feet tall.
November 2006, South Africa, Pretoria, leaves up to 5 feet, flowering stems up to 8 feet
Neomarica caerulea in bloom late this morning. Seems to be faring well on north side of the house in shaded area.
Purchased today at a Sarasota Plant sale...Plenty of buds ready to bloom.
Two days after purchase this beautiful plant surprised me with some gorgeous blooms!
Another beautiful set of blooms - the 4th set in 2 weeks...
Neomarica caerulea blooms repatedly from the same stalks. "Baby plants" form where the blooms were. They don't bend down to the ground, but root readily when put in the soil.
