This lovely dwarf iris in my friend's garden actually belonged to me at one time. When I moved in 2008 I no longer had access to a garden. Before I moved out I invited friend's over to collect plants that they may want for their garden. I'm always astonished how long-lived plants are and its wonderful to see this little guy still going 16 years later.

Photograph of a purple dwarf iris flower sprouting next to a weathered brick and surrounded by last year's fallen leaves as well as grass-like crocus foliage. Irises have three petals that extend vertically from the flower's base and three sepals the extend up and out from the base. On each sepal there is a central colored patch or stripe called a "signal" that often has furry appearance and leads down into the flower's interior. In this case the petals and sepals are purple and the signals are vivid orange-yellow while white and purple mottling on either side. Typically, irises are several feet tall but this dwarf variety is only 5-7 inches tall.
