WHERE DID THE WILD IRIS COME FROM

Information from:   http://www.pacificcoastiris.org/framewld.html

The beautiful wild irises form part of the exceptionally rich spring and summer flora in Washington, Oregon and California. Where could they have come from? And how did they get there?

Asia and Europe host almost all of the nearly 300 recognized wild iris species. Only a couple dozen, all members of the "beardless iris" group, somehow reached and still flourish in North America.

Botanists classify the wild beardless irises into several "series". Those growing along the Pacific Coast are members of the series Californicae. Their nearest relatives may be among the Siberian irises (series Sibiricae) ranging today between Japan, China, the Himalayas, central Europe and France. The Pacific Coast Native irises and seven (or eight?) of the eleven Siberian iris species share the same count of 40 chromosomes.

Ancestors of today's Pacific Coast irises, like those of the other seven native American iris groups, probably reached the New World across the Bering Strait at various times during the Ice Ages when lowered sea levels left a broad land bridge between the two continents. Under favorable conditions, they extended their ranges eastward to the Atlantic shores and south at least into northern Mexico.
