Siberian Iris
The graceful flowering Siberian Iris with its rich purple blooms is originally native to eastern & central Europe and northern Asia.
A tiger print in the calyx of the flower is very typical for this species and makes it extra showy.
The natural habitat of the Siberian Iris consists of boggy areas and pond or river shores.
Dutch name : Siberische Blauwe Lis
