Neomarica gracilis is native to Brazil and considered an invasive species in Cuba. It is commonly called Walking Iris because new plantlets are formed at the tip of the flower stalk and bend to take root in the soil.

Walking Iris



Walking iris, Neomarica regina

Neomarica spp. is one of those plants with a number of common names. Some gardeners call it fan iris because its leaves overlap, forming a fan of greenery. Or maybe you know it as apostle plant. This name was given to it because some believe it will not bloom until it produces twelve leaves. The delicate flowers of this plant inspire yet another common name: poor man's orchid.

Neomarica species get their most common name—walking iris—from their propagation habit. New plantlets form at the tops of flower stalks. As they grow, the stalks bend to the ground and the plantlet takes root. Eventually, the new plant will repeat the same process. In this way many walking iris plants "walk" through the landscape. However, not all species of Neomarica walk. Some species stems don't bend as readily as others and the plantlet is held airborne.

Whatever you call this plant, it makes a curious addition to any shade garden.

Neomarica gracilis. I like how photostacking allows me to get the sharp focus on the hairs on the surface of the petals while keeping the background blurry.
