Iris of the Day. Indian Chif. And Some Others. 5.8.19

Iris " Indian Chief".  5.7.19

Iris Alcazar.  5.8.19

Another iris in the woodlot border opened its flower.  This time, it's "Indian Chief".

"Indian Chief" was released to the public, some time in the 1920s.  In the years that followed, the country would need something bright and beautiful, that  could multiply and be given to others.

It's not a large clump.  I may move it out of te border and into the bearded iris bed, where it can have better care.

I did not appreciate a fragrance but need to check again.

Below, the clump of Alcazar shows off its vigor and pride.  The clump of Iris flavescens to the right, has just begun to bloom.

I weeded here, after taking the photo.

Iris flavescens.  5.8.19

Note: I initially identified "Indian Chief" iris as "Dauntless". Reviewing old blog entries, this is "Indian Chief".  The photos match perfectly.  I will move it to the main iris bed, where it will have more sunshine and better care than here, in the woodlot border.
