ΚΡΙΝΑΚΙ (Iris unguicularis)

http://www.mani.org.gr/hlorida/

Iris cretensis is considered by some to be a separate species and by others to be a small variety of I. unguicularis. It is a tiny plant found on Crete as the name implies. The leaves are only about 1/8" wide and about 6" to 7" long. The tiny flowers which bloom from January to April are in proportion to the leaves. The blade of the fall is almost entirely covered by the purple and white striped area with only the tip of the blade being a solid color.
