EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the beauty and rarity of a Siberian Iris growing in the Au Ried Noir wetlands of Alsace, France. The Siberian Iris is a plant relic of the Au glacier period, a rare survivor from the ice age that still thrives in this unique ecosystem. The Au Ried Noir is characterized by its wetlands and meadows, where Carex and Choin, members of the Carex kingdom in the Plantae phylum, flourish. The Siberian Iris, scientifically known as Iris siberica, is a member of the Magnoliophyta class, Liliopsida order, Poales order, Cyperaceae family, and Carex genus. Carex is the most extensive genus in the Cyperaceae family, commonly known as sedges. The Siberian Iris is a sight to behold, with its vibrant blue-violet flowers and distinctive fan-shaped leaves. This photograph, taken by M. Watson of Ardea Wildlife Pets Environment, showcases the plant's unique beauty and the delicate balance of the Au Ried Noir ecosystem.
