}} ''Iris zenaidae'' is a species in the genus ''Iris'', it is also in the subgenus of Scorpiris. It is a bulbous perennial. Iris zenaidae was first found by Alexei Vvedenski and he named the iris (Juno zenaidae) after Zinaida Petronava Botschantzeva (a botanist from Kazakhstan), he then published the iris in Opred. Rast. Sred. Azii 2: 322 1971. Dr Zinaida later, returned the favour and named Tulip Vvedenski after him, in 1954.〔 Z. Botschantzeva〕 It was then thought, by several botanists including Tony Hall (from Kew Gardens) that it was a violet-blue form of Iris graeberiana. It was then listed as synonym of Iris graeberiana. In 2012, botanists F.O. Khass and Rakhimova carried out more reaearch on the iris and others, they then re-published the iris as 'Iris zenaidae' as a species in its own right. On 21 December 2012, it was published in 'Stapfia' (Publikation der Botanischen Arbeitsgemeinschaft am O. Ö. Landesmuseum) 97: 178. Iris zenaidae is now an accepted name by the RHS.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/187252/i-Iris-zenaidae-i/Details )〕 It hybridises very readily with other Juno irises in the subgenus.〔British Iris Society 〕 It is hardy to USDA Zone 5. It prefers to be cultivated in full sun,〔 and stoney well drained soils, but feed with plenty of water during the spring. It can be seen in Denver Botanic Gardens.〔 ==Habit== Iris zenaidae is similar in form to Iris magnifica,〔British Iris Society 〕 but with different darker blue coloured flowers.
