From an email by Jocie to the Botany Group on Aug 27.
Mandy and Krista recently found this out-of-place looking iris blooming along the trail that runs alongside Croteau Lake.
Loys reports that the iris was there last year also, and on iNaturalist a Russian expert has identified it as a native species, the beach head iris, Iris setosa. On iNaturalist it looks like there are some records from Yukon.
Look out for it if you are hiking up that way.
