Although they don't have any underground bulbous storage, I'll echo Jim's comments on the amazing Iris x pseudata hybrids...one of the great plant breeding breakthroughs. We currently grow 17 cultivars and can't recommend them highly enough.

These are mostly Japanese hybrids involving the Common Yellow Flag (I. pseudacorus and the Japanese iris (I. ensata). All of these hybrids cover a range of colors from yellow to orange, purple, white and most have beautifully marked falls. Their special value around ponds is that they are all sterile- no seedlings spread and fill the pond like both parents can in the right condition. These Pseudata hybrids have a range of heights, colors, patterns etc. and do well in shallow water to wet soil.
