The yellow iris, or Iris pseudacorus, is a perennial plant native to Europe, western Asia, and northern Africa. It belongs to the family Iridaceae and is commonly found growing in wetlands, marshes, and along the edges of ponds and streams. The plant features bright yellow flowers with distinctive dark markings on the petals, which bloom in late spring to early summer. Yellow iris is known for its attractive appearance and ability to thrive in damp, aquatic environments, making it a popular choice for water gardens and landscaping projects. However, it is considered invasive in some regions and can quickly spread and outcompete native plant species if not properly managed.
