[Sca-cooks] Iris vs flag vs Orris

[Mary Denise Smith]

Not to put too fine a point on it, but irises and flags grow from
rhizomes, not bulbs. And in my experience growing them and/or seeing
them in botanical and private gardens, I think "flag" grows in wet
situations, where the regular old iris from your grandmother's garden
that you can't kill with dynamite grows in drier ground.

As I recall, Orris root is a specific iris. The toughies in my back yard
are irises, but are not Orris.

Bear?
