Iris Laevigata (Kaempferi) • Japanese Iris 
This section of the Iris family embraces flowers of 
wonderful color, vivid yet harmonious; all the shades 
of the rainbow seem to have been gathered in the 
most fascinating combinations. The great size of 
the flowers is noteworthy. It is not at all unusual 
to have blooms 6 to 8 inches across, while there are 
plenty of instances on record where these marvelous 
flowers have reached the enormous size of 12 inches 
across. They do not have the distinct standards of 
the German section, and their falls are held horizon¬ 
tally. Many of them are double, having six or more 
broad petals. 
Unlike the German Iris, they enjoy almost un¬ 
limited quantities of fertilizer and swampy ground 
but any good, well-drained soil will encourage sturdy 
growth and amazing blooms if they are given plenty 
of water during the dry season. They come into 
bloom right after the German Iris and are at their 
best in July.
