I think it would help him to look at some Google Images of different Iris.
There are, after all, some that grow in water! Iris sibirica like dry
conditions.

I had better not tell that to those I've had in my pond for 25 years. :-)

Iris confusa likes to be fairly moist. I suppose it could be
that in which case, lucky him!

Or the beautiful Iris laevigata which can also be a bog plant.

Some links for the OP to look at

http://www.lilieswatergardens.co.uk/index.asp (and do a Search for Iris)
