May is little Iris time here. I got 'Candy fluff' and 'Sleepy Time' at Poker Hill in Vermont. Well before that I was growing the "dwarf purple" one which may have come from Addison Gardens. Zdenek Zvolanek liked the "dwarf yellow" one so much, that when he saw it in a friend's Canadian garden, he begged a piece. I don't know if he still refers to it as Michael's Iris. Zdenek? I can add just a little more to its story: I got it at a local Master Gardener's plant swap in the earliest days of my rock gardening, if not before. Good, even great plants can turn up anywhere! I never studied it, but there is, or was some fellow by the name Hermit Meddler who offered a stunning array of these little Iris.

Neither the colour nor the "stance" seem like I. prismatica to me. Is it a dwarf and pale form? Or could it be something else?

Lis, I posted the same image on the SRGC Forum and the general view was that it wasn't Iirs prismatica (it didn't check out with the description Brian Mathew gives in "The Iris") more likely to be a Pacific Coast hybrid. Never mind, it's quite pretty and I shall keep it.

Iris reichenbachii
        

Iris graminea flowers hide in the foliage.  But the foliage is so graceful, deep green, durable, insect free and non-floppy that I have wondered why these characteristics have not been prized by breeders.
              

A seedling from Iris setosa 'Tourist'.
        

Iris sintenisii var. brandzae amidst Corydalis cheilanthifolia.
