Iris ID'd by Oron as Iris lactea

« on: September 24, 2014, 03:29:11 AM »

Can anyone identify this iris, seen in profusion in Ladakh, India in June 2014?

I am establishing a garden on Waiheke Island, 35 minutes out of Auckland. The site is windy, the clay soil dries out quickly in summer and is like plasticine in winter, but it is still very rewarding. Water is an issue, as we depend on tanks. I'm looking forward to sharing ideas. Caroline

It is Iris lactea. It has a vast distribution from China and Korea all the way to Central Asia and Russia/
