| |  [ID] White+Yellow wildflower leafy-thing...
Hi WAB'ers,
Just a white+yellow leafy thing for identification please... 
Grassland flowery-thing
I haven't seen one like it before unless it's a damaged well-known thing ( he says, trying to avoid embarrassment  ) If a size is needed, note the Apis mellifera honeybee to the left... It was quite a good attractant for B. pascuorum common carder-bee, too.
Thanks a lot in advance
Take care,
Jason  |

It's clearly an Iris species from the flower. I think it is probably Iris orientalis which has similar flowers + I've seen naturalised in grassland such as Ham Lands. |

definitely an iris but there are plenty of garden varieties escaping out there, especially the bluey/purpley one |

This one looks like a classic Iris orientalis (Turkish Iris) to me - a beautiful plant, and one I'm hopeful of seeing myself this coming May at Sand Point in Somerset. | | |
