A bright spot in one of my gardens. Flowers my Mom would adore. Dwarf Crested Iris (Iris cristata), found on rocky, wooded slopes. Native to the eastern and southern United States.

Quite short for an Iris, it grows to between 4 and 9 inches tall, and spreads by rhizomes.

Wonderful to see spring unfolding.
