This image gives a good idea of the size of these blossoms. Take a look at: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… This is the first time this species has bloomed for me. Many years ago I grew it, but every time it started to bloom we had a severe cold spell which destroyed the buds. I'm really impressed with the size of the flowers: I expected something smaller. While you are looking at this image of Iris unguicularis, scroll up a bit and compare the image of Iris brevicaulis: they're a lot alike, aren't they?
