Iris pumila

Iris pumila is a species of iris, a type of flowering plant known for its diverse garden varieties. It is often referred to as a dwarf iris, and it is one of the species that contributes to the creation of dwarf bearded irises. These irises typically flower in early spring and are characterized by their low-growing habit. Iris pumila originates from dry, rocky areas in southern Europe. The genus Iris itself is widespread in the Northern Hemisphere and includes about 300 species, many of which are popular garden flowers. Irises can be either bulbous or rhizomatous, and their flowers typically have three sepals, three petals, and three stigma branches.12
