Default odd iris

Thanks for your responses.

Both sepals and petals are sort of heavy and stiff. These three
stalks are in the midst of iris that look like this:

And I gotta say that I like this one better. Perhaps what I'll do is
mark both kinds and at least separate the odd ones and see what they
do next year.


Well, they both are very pretty. If I had to choose one, I'd choose the
mutant or "odd" one. It almost looks like a lily. I hope you don't
lose it when you separate it. They're pretty hard to kill. A
greenhouse dumped a bunch of one, and there they were, growing on the
side of the ravine.
