Description
A yellow water Iris peeks out between the blades of this amazing plant.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
It is an herbaceous flowering perennial plant, growing to 100�150 centimetres (39�59 in) (or a rare 2 metres (6 ft 7 in)) tall, with erect leaves up to 90 centimetres (35 in) long and 3 centimetres (1.2 in) broad. The flowers are bright yellow, 7�10 centimetres (2.8�3.9 in) across, with the typical iris form. The fruit is a dry capsule 4�7 centimetres (1.6�2.8 in) long, containing numerous pale brown seeds. I. pseudacorus grows best in very wet conditions, and is often common in wetlands, where it tolerates submersion, low pH, and anoxic soils. The plant spreads quickly, by both rhizome and water-dispersed seed. It fills a similar niche to that of Typha and often grows with it, though usually in shallower water. While it is primarily an aquatic plant, the rhizomes can survive prolonged dry conditions.
