Crested Iris - Iris cristata

 Crested Iris - Iris cristata (White form)
A member of the Iris family, this blooms from April until May, and is one of this region's most admired spring blossoms. Some of these bloom with a yellow - orange crest. As is the case for all Iris the style and stigma are located under the uppermost sepal. This forces any insect looking for nectar to carry and deposit pollen from flower to flower.
