Marica 
South American Irid commonly called 
the Walking Iris. They have shiny, bright 
evergreen foliage in fans resembling Iris 
Japonica from the center of which rises the 
flower scape looking just like another leaf. 
Near the tip of this scape the flowers de- 
velop and bloom, after which young plants 
are produced from the same point. As 
these young plants become large the scape 
is caused to bend down touching the 
ground, when the plants take root and the 
first step is taken in the process of walk- 
ing. In pot culture they may be trained 
to hang making cascades 4 to 6 ft. high. 
In warm sections they may be planted in 
the open. They like light soil with leaf- 
mold.
