Description
The large, sunshine-yellow flowers of the Yellow iris brighten up the margins of waterways, ponds, wet woods, fens and marshes.
The Yellow iris has tall reed stems that are sometimes branched. Its long, narrow leaves are grey-green and sword-like, and may droop at the ends. Its large, yellow flower petals fold back on themselves and hang down around the outer edges of the flower.
The Yellow Iris can be invasive and may easily take over a small pond.
Also called the 'Flag Iris', they are thought to be the inspiration for the fleur-de-lis symbol, which is used in heraldry and also by the Scouts.
