Peltandra Virginica Var. Heterophylla

Peltandra virginica var. heterophylla is a lesser-known variant of the yellow flag iris found primarily in the southeastern united states. this plant is characterized by its unique leaf morphology, which varies significantly across different parts of the same plant. it thrives in wetland environments, often near the edges of ponds and slow-moving streams. its striking yellow flowers appear in late summer, adding a splash of color to its habitat. despite its beauty, it remains relatively obscure compared to other iris species.
