Here's one I grew in pot a couple of years back. Notice the flower stem shoots straight up from the base of the plant and have a number of buds in bloom while the rest are waiting in line.
I bought a pot of this plant years ago in a nursery up in the Dandenong Ranges but since then it has multiplied ten folds. The plant blooms once only in its lifetime and dies off soon after but not until it reproduces more baby plants from it's rhizome.
I'm not really sure why they call it bearded iris but maybe its because of that yellowy pollen thing in the middle giving it that name. I only have it in this colour but there are many different type of colourful bearded iris out there.
