Trimezia northiana, synonym Neomarica northiana,[1] also known as North's false flag[2] or walking iris, is a flowering plant, native to Brazil, with a rhizomatous rootstock, belonging to the iris family, Iridaceae.

Reproduction

[edit]

Plantlets grow at the ends of the flower stalks. As the plantlets grow, their weight causes the stalk to dip to the ground where they take root.[3]
