Wallis 95-09 (From a type-locality collection of this spectacular relative of Iris gatesii from around the border of Turkey & Syria). Somewhat intermediate between Iris gatesii and the dark-veined, more southern species centred on Iris sofarana.
About 30-40 cm tall with huge flowers with tucked-in falls. Standards veined & stippled with violet on a whitish ground. Falls veined with deep purple. A vigorous plant, possibly needing richer treatment than the Iranian steppe-species. https://www.rareplants.co.uk/product/iris-kirkwoodii-kirkwoodii-jja-590-256/ |accessdate=3 January 2018}}</ref> Iris kirkwoodii kirkwoodii JJA.590.256

Iris susiana bloomed in the garden, one of its close relatives (perhaps one of its parents) bloomed up at my community garden plots. Ever since I learned about it years ago, I've been on the hunt for a reasonably priced rhizome of this one, Iris kirkwoodiae. It's very similar to Iris susiana; in fact, that long endured longing for the mourning iris is now largely assuaged http://mcwort.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/iris-kirkwoodii-iris-kirkwoodii-iris.html%7C accessdate=3 January 2018}}</ref> Sunday, May 8, 2016 Iris kirkwoodiae
