Beauty. This pic shows off the landing stripes for pollinators nicely.

That is a beauty! I am in the process of creating a "blue" garden. This would fit perfectly!

Kate, now that you mention it, those stripes do seem designed to draw pollinators in.

Karin, yes, this iris is beautiful and easy. It even spreads nicely without being aggressive.
