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. Yellow Dutch Iris has beautifully formed flowers rising up to
2 ft on slender stems. Leaves are long, grey, reed-like, quite sturdy,
which makes them suitable for cut-flowers. Dutch irises have a
characteristic shape. "Standard" petals are narrow and upright, while
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.
