There is an iris that has apparently seeded itself into one of my beds - it's not a bearded type or a Siberian or Japanese or Louisiana types either. The bearded are going by, the Siberian is just budded and the others haven't even got scapes yet!
But there is a very tall spike that delighted me this AM - it is at least 4 foot tall.
Any guesses?

Without a picture of the plant, guesses would be pointless.
I not sure I really wanted guesses as much as I wanted to share the surprise. I suspect it is a "wild" iris of sorts. I'll take a picture this AM to share later.
To have this 4 foot iris waving in the middle of the daylilies is really neat.

Never with irises, but every year things from the back garden, end up in the front gardens. This year horseherb, horsemint, four o'clocks, and datura are now in the front gardens. No idea how.
Need a good, cheap, knowledge expanding present for a friend?
How about Yellow Flag - IRIS PSEUDACORUS
It has an attractive habit & pretty flowers. The seed pods are also interesting. They are plump, 4" pods that dangle from the stalks.
