Hi Nancy,
The leaves appear to be flat v-shapes which partly enclose the upper =
leaf base and all in one plane which would suggest Iris versicolor =
growing from a rhizome to be 18" tall now. It flowers often when in the =
open but in shaded woodland depressions can be quite inconspicuous and =
easily overlooked. In sunny swails it should be now or soon in flower so =
a leaf base comparison would test this ID.
Yt, Dave Webster, Kentville
