Yellow Iris / Iris pseudacorus
Yellow Irises are a common sight in wetland areas, including swamps, fens and saltmarshes, and are therefore tolerant of a variety of water conditions. Flowers are bright yellow with fine dark brown veins and spots. The distinctive leaves are flat and ‘sword like’, adding extra texture and interest to wetland areas when not in flower.
