Missouri Iris
Bozeman, Montana
2011
We’ve always had several patches of these wild irises in the wetter areas on our property (they like to keep their feet wet). This year however, due to the very wet winter and spring we’ve had, they’ve been popping up in a lot of areas where I’ve never seen them before, areas that are typically characterized by flowers that do well in drier soil.
What are Missouri Iris doing in Montana?!
I don’t know. The headwaters of the Missouri River are about 30 miles from our house–maybe that’s the connection.
