:: neomarica longifolia ::

Poolside at the resort there were very many lovely and different kinds of flowers than what we have here at home. This one, though, looked vaguely familiar - like the dietes iris, but yellow.
The curious habit of the stalks with newly-forming plantlets becoming too heavy to remain upright but surrendering to gravity whereupon the plantlet immediately issues new roots into the ground where it grazes has given this very pretty plant the name 'walking iris'.
