Dwarf lake iris (Iris lacustris) in Michigan

Share your observations of Michigan's state wildflower Iris lacustris (dwarf lake iris), a State and Federally threatened species, endemic to the Great Lakes region. We are currently working to verify, monitor, and update occurrences of Iris lacustris in Michigan's Natural Heritage Database and conduct population research. Inclusion of additional information in your observation about population density, extent, presence flowers or seed pods, or additional photos illustrating these characteristics are desired, but not required.

Please make sure your settings are set to "Yes" to share the private coordinates with the project, so that we may verify any new records and update the correct existing record. The coordinates are still obscured to non-administrators on the project.
