First time this has bloom for me. No success in my iris list about it. Have another stalk with two buds opening any day now.
Anyone recognize this one?

Check out 'Thornbird'..
The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.

Avid iris and daylily grower.
Surely Thornbird is a good chance...not many look like that!
Does anyone know how to stop spending money on flowers?

Thks y'all for identifying Thornbird; I found Tmail regarding my trade for it. It is most unusual with those horns/spoons! It is a very interesting and pretty one.

It is also very fertile and often has interesting offspring. They will not win any awards, but they sure are fun!

Sometimes it has a flounce like that and sometimes it only has horns.
Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.

It is fertile as you say, Lili. The stems are very thick and stout.
