Moreover, we have blooming of White African Iris at our neighborhood. The scientific name is Dietes iridioides.

As its name, the origin of this flower was from Africa, especially from South Africa. Perennial flower like many other Irises.

What make this flower pretty for me that it looks like a fan (fan shaped) with 3 colors combines: white, yellow and purple-blue (as marking).

A neighbor said that a white African Iris is a drought tolerant, but to have good flowers and growth, we shoul:

- watering its weekly or regularly
- put under the sun about 7 hours, and with partial shades
