The delicate flowers last only a day but the plant continues >to form new blooms for long periods of time during late spring months. Makes >also an excellent houseplant. This is not a water Iris, be careful not to overwater. Neomarica gracilis is a type of walking Iris. Once the flower is spent, the stem that it was born on lays to the ground and from that a new plant is formed. For that reason it is said to be walking across your garden. You can divide plants and plant them in new locations. Regards Tanay On Thu, Mar 18, 2010 at 8:56 PM, Satish Phadke <phadke.sat...@gmail.com> wrote: Excellent pictures of a beautiful flower.
