Scientific Name:
Iris ensata 'Sensation'

Family:
Sensation Japanese Iris

Family:
Iridaceae

Description:
Japanese Iris is also known by the scientific name of Iris kaempferi, and is easily recognized by its flat-topped flowers, due to its standards (three upper petals) being pendulous like the falls (three lower sepals), rather than upright (as with most other types of Iris).
