Please excuse my ignorance. I've never grown Iris missouriensis,
but every reference I've seen describes it as rhizomateous, one
even going to the extent of saying "extensively rhizomateous".
Does Iris missouriensis in fact have a bulbous form?
The habitat description fits I. missouriensis, but if it isn't
a bulb, this must be some other plant--maybe Iris family, but
not I. missouriensis.
