Dear friend,
           I was in Kashmir during the summer of 1975.You see lots of flowers of different colour and shape at that time of the year.One such flower was Iris (of course ,I did not know the identity of this flower at that time.).I was at Chail during 1979-81.There I saw Iris of different colours.One particular Iris I saw in bloom at Tezpur in 2002.I got a sample
of that species in our garden and it is in bloom now.I don't know the scientific name of this species.Attaching images of the flower.You may like it.
