Western Blue Flag Iris (Iris missouriensis)
Location: Lookout Mountain, Jefferson County, Colorado, USA

This wild iris is reported to occur throughout the western half of the United States, as well as British Columbia and Alberta in Canada. I photographed this specimen in Colorado, at the edge of a wooded area on Lookout Mountain, just outside Denver.
