If you've been hiking lately in or walking in local nature parks, you may have seen a "wild iris." This one in the photo is one of several Pacific Coast Wild Iris species; it's a Tough Leaf iris (Iris tenax), or Oregon Iris and is common in our area. We spotted this one yesterday while hiking around Bald Peak State Park. To learn about the other native iris species in OR, CA, and WA, see: http://www.pacificcoastiris.org/framewld.html (5/09/2013)
