It is a rhizomatous perennial, from the mountains of the Balkans in Europe, within the countries of Greece, former Yugoslavia, Turkey and Macedonia. It has sage green or grey-green leaves, that are sickle-shaped, a stout short stem and 2 variable flowers, in shades from yellow to purple. They have a white or blue beard. It is often called ''Iris pumila subsp attica'', but is classified in most sources, as a separate species, although it is closely related to ''Iris pumila'', as a possible parent plant. It is cultivated as an ornamental plant in temperate regions. ==Description== It is similar in form to ''Iris suaveolens'', that also appears with yellow or purple forms.〔Basak Gardner and Chris Gardner 〕 They are also have flowers in similar colours/shades to ''Iris pumila'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://irisbotanique.over-blog.com/article-chapitre-i-les-iris-rhizomateux-partie-2-105950846.html )〕 as well as the form of the iris,〔Kelly Norris 〕 but smaller.〔 It has small rhizomes,〔 that spread out, to form clumps of plants.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wrightmanalpines.com/plant/iris-attica )〕 It has glaucous,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.greekflora.gr/el/flowers/0315/Iris-attica )〕 sage-green,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dancingoaks.com/home/dok/page_2389/iris_attica.html )〕 or green grey leaves.〔 They can grow up to between long,〔〔 and 4-7mm wide.〔 They are lanceolate with a sharp curvature,〔〔 or sickle shaped.〔〔〔 It has a stout stem, that can grow up to between tall.〔〔 Although, very occasionally they can reach 15 cm tall.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/102468/#b )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.edrom-nurseries.co.uk/shop/pc/Iris-attica-p9531.htm )〕 The stems hold 2 terminal (top of stem) flowers, blooming in spring,〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.theoi.com/Flora1.html )〕 or early summer,〔〔 between March,〔Lawrence Durrell 〕 April,〔〔 May,〔 or late as June.〔 The slender, flowers are in diameter,〔〔〔 come in various shades,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/GardenBeardedIrises )〕 from yellow to purple.〔〔〔 Including whitish,〔 pale yellow,〔〔 greenish yellow, lemon yellow,〔〔 mustard yellow,〔〔〔 to blue,〔 blue-purple,〔〔 violet-blue,〔 and mauve shades.〔 Like other irises, it has 2 pairs of petals, 3 large sepals (outer petals), known as the 'falls' and 3 inner, smaller petals (or tepals), known as the 'standards'.〔 In the centre of the falls, is a beard.〔 Which can vary in colour, from white through to blue,〔〔 or bright blue.〔〔 Some flowers are bi-coloured.〔〔〔 The yellow forms have a brown signal patch on the falls.〔 The purple or violet forms have contrasting spots in violet or plum.〔 The standards are upright.〔 After the iris has flowered, it produces a seed capsule that has not been described yet. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Iris attica」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
