Louisiana Iris FORTUNE FINDER Live Plant Lemon Yellow Violet Water, Shade, Bog Garden Starter Size 4 Inch Pot Emeralds TM

The Louisiana Iris is a part of the very large Iris or Iridacea Plant Family. They are a group of five species native to Louisiana . Some of these species are also native to other Southern and Southeastern states, but Louisiana is the only area where all five can be found in their native habitats. These species will cross pollinate and interbreed with readily within the pool of the five, but not with other species. There are thousands of hybrids in an endless array of color combinations, some naturally occurring and others by the design of dedicated hobbyists and horticulturists who just love the plants.

And there is plenty about them to love. They are easy to grow, span a wide range of climates, and while they prefer moist, boggy soils, and so make wonderful additions to ponds and aquatic designs, they can also be successfully grown on higher ground, or as potted plants.

Fortune Finder is a complex seedling hybrid multi-cross between from Iris Haven and others registered by Heather Pyor in 2002.

The flower is lovely and delicate looking in a yellow palette ranging from near ivory blushed with the palest hint of pink to sunny lemon. The slightly ruffled petals have pretty, contrasted, violet colored veins and darker golden markings. The flowers emerge on 3 foot stalks beginning in early summer from large, elongated, vertical, strap foliage averaging 2 to 3 feet in height, and attracts hummingbirds.
