Northwest Native Iris

Of the fifteen or so Iris that are native to the whole of the west coast, seven are at home here in Oregon. Most grow in colorful drifts in primarily open wooded areas at low elevations west of the Cascades.

 

Either 'Siskiyou Iris/Iris Bracteata' or 'Golden Iris/Iris Innominata' Wild Flowers, Southern Oregon

NOTE: many of the slideshows and headings
might not work right now since flash player
has been discontinued. I will endeavor to
reconstruct new ones for this and all my
other websites but it will take awhile.
Please check back at some time in the future.
Thank you for your patience, Kay
