There's a plant I've seen everywhere, particularly in areas that
receive
little extra water & care (I've often seen them planted on council
verges
or
on islands in the middle of the road) but receive full sun
throughout
most
of the Summer. It's a reedy plant, it might be a Yucca, the
lilly/orchid
like flowers are on long stems, the petals of which are white with
some
black & yellow bits (stripes or dots?) & a purple tounge...

I don't have a camera available unfortunately otherwise I would
take
a
piccie!

Actually, you're right. I just found a website that states that it's
common
name is Wild Iris.

Don't forget it could be Dietes iridioides as well. Difference is that
grandiflora is taller and has a flower 10cm across, iridioides on the
other
hand is smaller and has flowers 7cm across.

Cheers big ears. Do the flowers of Iridioides have the same colouring?


You betcha!
