Yellow Iris

While it can be an attractive perennial often sold in nurseries, the yellow iris is an invasive species
that poses a great threat to fragile wetland ecosystems. Unless tackled early the iris can rapidly form
dense cover, preventing the establishment of native wetland plants, which in turn can support far more
native animal species. This flower is native to Europe, western Asian and northwest Africa.

Use caution then handling this plant it can be toxic to humans and animals and cause human skin
irritations. ~ Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC)
