These irises were planted as ornamentals around our hotel<\/span> near Shimla in Dec 2018.<\/span><\/div>\n
Many of them had dried, only some 4-5 flowers remained. Looking at the efi pics, they seem to be Iris tectorum<\/i>. Requested to please validate.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Iris nepalensis from Arunachal Pradesh: SCFEB01<\/a> : 3 posts by 2 authors.<\/div>\n
Here is the Himalayan Iris.<\/div>\n
Iris nepalensis<\/i> D.Don Prodr. Fl. Nepal.: 54 (1825); non Wall. ex Lindl. (1824)<\/div>\n
Family: Iridaceae<\/i><\/div>\n
Habitat: It is found in the temperate Himalaya and Khasi hills<\/span><\/div>\n
Pollination: This member shows an interesting floral morphology for pollination. The Iris flower is formed in such a way that when a bee enters it to get the nectar, the insect will come in contact with the pollen only after passing the stigma. When the bee backs out of the flower, it will only touch the lower face of the Stigma, which is non- receptive. Thus the flower ensures that the bee doesn’t pollinate it with its own pollen. Each flower is pollinated by the pollen of another (cross pollinated).
