Botanical name: Iris x hollandica Family: Iridaceae (Iris family)
Dutch irises are plants that grows from a bulb. They are cross between
Spanish Iris (Iris xiphium) and other iris species. Beautifully
formed flowers rise to 2 ft on slender stems. Leaves are long, strap-
shaped. Dutch irises have a characteristic shape. "Standard" petals are
narrow and upright, which the "fall" petals are oval to circular, and
project downward. Flowers can be 3-5 inches in size. Colors run the range
from blue, purple, and mauve through brown, magenta, white, orange,
yellow, and bicolors, usually with a yellow splotch near the base of the
fall. They bloom from early to late spring.
