Description
Neomarica. Florida.
Neomarica also known as: Walking Iris, Apostle's Iris, Apostle Plant,giant blue walking iris, Brazilian Walking irises, Trimezia violacea. Native to tropical regions.
The Flowering stem are flattened, always leaf-like.
Leaf bases arranged in a plane, with the base of one clasping the one above (equitant).
After pollination, the new plantlet appears where the flower emerged and the stalk continues to grow longer. The weight of the growing plantlet causes the stalk to bend toward the ground, allowing the new plantlet to root away from its parent. This is how it obtained the common name of "Walking Iris". The other common name "Apostle Plant" comes from the belief that the plant will not flower until the individual has at least 12 leaves, the number of apostles of Jesus.
FINE ART AMERICA watermark does not show up on the purchased product (prints).
