Hi,

Could anyone identify this Iris-like plant that is growing at the side
of my pond, please?

It's 18" tall, and the largest flowers are just under an inch across. I
think it might be a Sisyrinchium, because I bought a mixed pack from
Chiltern Seeds a few years ago, but I've had a browse around the web and
can't see any that have flowers so rounded or closely packed.

Thanks!
