Iris warleyensis

 Growing 12"-14" tall (30-35 cm) in flower, this beauty is a little taller than
some of the others, but it's still compact and beautiful when the "ears of
corn" (the buds) open lots of blue flowers, with startling yellow falls, edged
and veined with purple-blue. The leaf growth has a more open, alternating
pattern than seen with dwarf Juno iris varieties.

The same photo below, zoomed into the flowers, to better illustrate the
intricate veining on the falls.

Photos snapped on April 2001.  This year, the flowers opened on
April 20, 2002.
