Iris 'Okagami' has white falls with burgundy eyelashes surrounding the yellow signals. The style arms are creamy yellow with a touch of pale lavender. It stands 34 - 36 inches high and blooms in mid season. This is a pseudata iris, a cross between a Japanese iris (Iris ensata ) and Iris pseudacorus. These hybrids have introduced the color yellow into the form of a Japanese iris. Typically they have branched stems with multiple buds on each stem. Pseudata irises thrive in or near water but also do well in garden conditions. They are attractive to hummingbirds while resistant to deer. Although they are vigorous growers, they are sterile and will not spread in waterways. In 2012 Okagami received Honorable Mention and in 2014 it received Award of Merit.
