Oregon Iris
Small purple iris flowers with yellow signals on wiry stems. A tough, underappreciated Pacific Northwest native.
Dangerous to cats
Toxic to cats and dogs, the rhizome most of all. Vomiting, drooling and diarrhoea are the usual signs.
Handle with care
The rhizomes irritate skin and are the most poisonous part if eaten. Wear gloves to lift or divide a clump.
