Sorry, another plant for you to identify

[GinAndOnIt]

You're all too good at this!

Any idea what this is? Again, from MIL. I recognised the name when she told me it, but can I remember it? No. I need to plant it but don't know where until I know what it is.

Thank you!

It's an iris :)

Oh lovely! What does it like to be planted with - will it mind being with lavender?

Needs to be In full sun with the rhizome on the surface. Sure it won't mind the lavender 😉

Like how it is now in the pot? Good job you said, I would have buried that right underground otherwise. Sorry, one more question - what sort of height will it grow to? Or will I not know until flower comes and identify it after that?

Yeah like that impossible to say how high it'll be. My iris' are about 18 in he in leaf with 2ft flowers but they're all different. You have to wait and see what you've got.

Something to look forward to :) thanks Palomb

Just wanted to say that I really enjoy these name a plant threads and always open and learn from them .

I've posted with only a description and no photo and been answered in seconds - thank you nan !

Gingerroots and OP - i love these threads too. I learn a lot from them and like to see if I know what it is. I'm not as green fingered or knowledgeable as Palomb, sadly.

Exciting for you to see what colour it will be.

I feel a bit of a pest to keep asking, but it's so hard to just google search a description! Glad others find it useful.

Irises can be some of the most spectacular flowers:
