Marica Gracilis 
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 flow- 
ers develop 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 
walking. 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 leafmold. Delivery throughout the 
year.
