Martin initally described a plant with "little" flowers like a small purple iris. If this were if Neomarica caerulea which has iris like flowers - the flowers would be very large, between 4 and 6" across with distinctive brown and white markings. The plants themselves grow 5' tall. Even the smaller, white blooming species have quite large flowers, 2 to 3" across. I don't expect the plant in question to be Neomarica. Dell, I'm surprised to read that N caerulea is common in the trade. Is that the case in WV? It is a rare find in nurseries in So Cal.

It is rather common in the trade because it reproduces so easily from the "propagules" at the ends of the long stalks. It is definitely an irid and, therefore, should be allowed for discussion on this forum. When it blooms, the pretty iris-like flowers have a lovely scent.
