Blue Flag Iris

Blue Flag Iris

Iris versicolor is also commonly known as the blue flag, harlequin blueflag, larger blue flag, northern blue flag,[1] and poison flag, plus other variations of these names,[2][3] and in Britain and Ireland as purple iris.[4]
It is a species of Iris native to North America, in the Eastern United States and Eastern Canada. It is common in sedge meadows, marshes, and along streambanks and shores. The specific epithet versicolor means "variously coloured".[5]  Wikipedia

I feature this flower yearly because it grows around the pond at Gorman Nature Center.  Behind the flower you see some kind of sedge and lily-pads.  I greatly enjoy seeing it each year because it is a seasonal milestone for me.
