Iris domestica syn. Belamcanda chinensis Blackberry lily Z 5-10

$10.95/bareroot

Each orange flower covered with dark orange spots on its 5 canoe-shaped petals held aloft by a leafless stem. The flowers turn into round, shiny, black seeds in summer and fall.  Only the leaves look like an Iris. (Spoiler alert – despite the common name of lily, this is not a lily.)  Taxonomists reclassified this into an Iris in 2005 based on its DNA.
