Really nice markings, yes. Seems I faved it times ago already. Is this one also blossoming in March? I was not aware any iris blossom earlier than the tall sibirians also in cool climates. As you do not allow access to date taken and such info I thought this must bloom when our wild iris bloom, in Mai. The reddish purple ones at our closest apple farmers wayside shrine on March 1 where a huge surprise, in a bed up on a well drained service road shoulder, backed with the sandstone base of the cross and a dense yew hedge in the northwest, flanked by dry ornamental grasses and open only to the road cover that soaks up warmth in the very south, but even so, in March it can get icy enough. The usual thing to see in such locations in March is crocus and heleborus or sometimes hothouse grown pansies, recently put out and not expected to last.

If you look at the "tags" on this [and all my photos] you'll find the date when the photo was taken. Dwarf Irises bloom, for the most part, well before their taller cousins. Their low-growing nature keeps them closer to the warmer ground, often sheltered by other plants which allows them to bloom when it would be too cool for taller Irises.
