Wild Flowers of Sleepy Hollow Lake
Blue Flag Iris (Iris versicolor)

(Blue Flag Iris - 08) The blue flag iris was cultivated by the Native Americans
for medicinal purposes. The rhizomes (roots) were used as a cathartic and, when
dried and powdered, were made into a poultice for sores and bruises. God's gift
of this amazing "orchid" of the north is something we should all cherish and
protect.
