I've added a link and a stub entry for Irish latifolia, which appears to be the same as I. xiphiodes, I. anglica, and also known as English Iris. It would be good to have cleared up this confusion. Does anybody know the truth on this matter?
Jens Nielsen20:15, 15 January 2006 (UTC)reply
I was hoping to point this to an article on the specific variety, if one exists, to avoid the need for external links on a disambiguation page. I've scanned the list and I can't find an obvious link which would suit, which is why I'm posting here, calling on someone more knowledgeable to assist! --

Cleanup, please
There's a horrible section of text in the last paragraph of the description section. It reads,
The shape of the flower and the position of the pollen-receiving and stigmatic surfaces on the outer petals form a landing-stage for a flying insect, which in probing the perianth for nectar, will first come in contact of perianth, three with the stigmatic stamens in one whorl surface which is borne and an ovary formed of three carpels. The shelf-like transverse projection on the inner whorl under side of the stamens, which is beneath the over-arching style arm below the stigma, so that the insect comes in contact with its pollen-covered surface only after passing the stigma, while in backing out of the flower it will come in contact only with the non-receptive lower face of the stigma.
Does anyone understand what it's trying to say, who can clean it up? I don't really follow it, there is much run-on, and some of it just plain grammatically incorrect. Thanks. -

How many years does a plant live?
If irises are perennial (i.e. they come back each year after they seem to die in the winter), how many years will a single plant last before it eventually dies?
Badagnani23:08, 12 October 2007 (UTC)reply
You'll have to find a source which states how long that is. Notice the article says the plants grow from rhizomes, so one plant can spread and create many clones. Maybe you also have to consider the boundaries of the meanings of "plant" or "live". (

Corm
The article says some irises reproduce from bulbs. By bulb does it mean "corm"? Flower growers call corms and tubers bulbs, but boatanists distinguish the three. Randall Bart Talk 01:22, 14 December 2007 (UTC)tennessee floerreply
Will a bearded iris flower more than once?
Once a bearded iris has flowered, will removing the flower ensure it flowers again?
Please advise what I should do once the flower looks as though it may have died.
Thanks!

Iris (plant) →
Iris – Appears to be the
WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Google Books results turn up a mixture of results on the plants and works of fiction that used the proper name Iris in the title or were by prolific authors named Iris, thus polluting the results. The given name isn't the primary topic, though, since it's been viewed just over
1300 times in December 2012. Iris (plant) has been viewed over
20,000 times in December 2012. Iris (anatomy) has been viewed almost
36,000 times but I don't think a case could be made that it could be the primary topic given it didn't show up on the Books search results in the first few pages. I expect most readers of Wikipedia searching for "Iris" to be looking for information on the genus of plants, not the color, the given name, bands, albums, or part of the eye.
Rkitko(

Oppose. There is no reason to discount page views for the anatomical iris. The rather mixed Google Books results does not indicate very strong evidence of the plant as primary topic.

Strong oppose it is part of the animal eye structure. clearly not the plant. Irises are frequently found in iris-identification schemes, the function of the iris, irising, is also used in technological devices for aperture changes. Eye color is iris color, and frequently dealt with in identification certificates. --

Oppose. Too ambiguous, and not enough evidence of primary usage for the plant. The anatomical iris is certainly the primary meaning to a large percentage of the population.
Good Ol’factory(talk)01:14, 29 December 2012 (UTC)reply
Oppose I knew very little about the plant, I would regard both the part of the eye and the female name as more important meanings. Obviously, if this move is made, the current page should be moved to "Iris (disambiguation)". If anything, I would regard the part of the eye as the most important meaning, but I think this is really a case of no primary topic.

How far down should a bulb be planted? How far apart should they be spaced? How many years does one bulb live? How many clone bulbs would it produce in that amount of time? How much shade can they take? None of this is in the section on cultivating iris, where one would expect it to be. Similar questions could be asked about the rhyzome irises.

I check pages listed in
Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for
orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of
Iris (plant)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
