I have a variety of iris at home and this year three plants have odd blooms on them I've never seen before. I don't know if they're just blooming for the first time or if they're defective or virus or the result of some accidental cross. Both petals and sepals are narro and it's bearded.

like Blue-Flag from here. Let the seed pods form, and if they hang down intead of upright like 'normal' iris, then I would be more certain.
I have a Yellow Flag volunteer that I've admired for about a decade. I've never touched it and it is now a healthy clump about 4 feet in diameter.
-snip- Should I just rip it out now so it doesn't spread?
Why would you do that? Even if it is some freaky new breed of Iris, it sure doesn't hurt anything-- and I for one think it is pretty.
Jim
your iris is really pretty. i for one would not rip it out its no doing any damage why take out something special that u have been blessed with. for some reason if things dont look perfectly normal to us we seem to try and change it. in this case im hoping that u listen to everyone an
count your blessings that u have something so special and pretty in your garden. cyaaaaa, sockiescat
