    Here's Iris pallida in bloom. There's a form with variegated leaves that is a star perennial. There are a few photos of it in "Garden in the Street." Click here.

Baby blue for baby boys?
Hence the name, pale iris (I. pallida). I don't see it planted much and don't know why. Maybe the much showier bearded irises steal the show. The variegated form of this one, as I said above, is a star. You get the same flowers and you get spiky eye-catching leaves from spring through fall.
