For those whom bigger is better but biggest is best comes this larger of the two "Bamboo Iris" species. The name refers to its habit of forming tall upright canes which hold the fans of foliage and flowers ever higher aloft. While bamboo might be a slight exaggeration in the case of I. confusa (only reaching 3ft or so) this species can reportedly top out at 6'+. I envy legendary plant breeder and Iridophile Darrell Probst who collected this species for what must have been a truly incredible encounter in the wild. Needs a fairly sheltered/mild spot to reach full potential.
