This looks strikingly similar to the striped water iris I moved from the drainage pond up to the new stepstone path, but apparently differs in that it won’t tolerate standing water. Which is good since this is an obviously drier area than a pond. I’m hoping it will outperform the water iris in the area which seem to be lacking in vigor, perhaps because they were buried too deep after the retaining wall was built.
