Iris Pallida Subsp. Australis

Blue flag, scientifically known as Iris pallida subsp. australis, is a striking wetland plant native to the eastern United States. It is recognized for its vibrant blue and white flowers that bloom in late spring and early summer. This species thrives in shallow water and moist soil, often found in marshes and along the edges of ponds. Its tall, slender stems and showy blossoms make it a popular choice for wetland restoration projects. The Blue flag plays an important ecological role by supporting pollinators and stabilizing shoreline habitats.
