Iris

Yes!

Here's a dormant siberian iris. It is quite different from regular irises. Smaller bloom and the foliage looks like thick grass.

And in bloom...

I've never tried to grow them from seed, since I've had plenty of starts from splitting those that were already here when we bought this place. I'd love to know if it can be done though.

And wild iris could fit the bill too, but since it was in someone's yard, I'd say it's less likely. I've found them in the woods before, but they are smaller and I've killed the couple I did try to transplant.

BTW, are you a mushroom hunter by any chance?

That is what the plant looks like dormant have not seen it in bloom! As for the mushroom hunter never considered calling it that but yes I go on hikes just to find mushrooms actually I look for them well... Everywhere!

I have iris seeds though so naturally I am going to have to try to grow them as for the clump when is the best time to move them?

Here soon, when the ground warms up a bit.

What kind of mushroom is that in your pic? We like hunting morels, oysters, boletes, puffballs and sulfur shelf. I got a good ID book for Christmas this year, so I think I'll start bringing whatever I find home to try to identify them for fun.

I am not 100% sure on the mushroom in my pic I think it's from the Boletus family, perhaps even a frostii Boletes.
I know the picture looks less red then it actually was but if you have another opinion please share honestly I am quite losses to identifying exact names but love the search and uniqness of the mushrooms I've found!

There's a lot of boletes, so I couldn't venture a guess, but it sure is a pretty one. I grew up hunting morels, but only branched out into new mushrooms over the past couple of years. It's fun like hunting Easter eggs, year-round, LOL.
