Iris cycloglossa is a species from Western Afghanistan that somewhat resembles a Dutch Iris and is a rich blue-violet. It comes from areas subject to winter-spring floods so tolerates a lot of water and generally moister growing conditions than many other junos. It's one of the very last junos to bloom, and it's a beauty with a very different look. It's an "easy doer" when grown in sandy soil, and blooms in June instead of April-May like most junos. The flowers are outlandishly large, and luxuriantly floppy for the size of the plant, providing an unusual flouncy rabbit-ear look . Flower photos by Mark McDonough and Bill Dijk. The bulb photo by Peter Taggart shows this species has tuberous roots, which break off easily.
