What precisely is Iris domestica? It looks like a Sisyrinchium, maybe from the flower and the foliage, S. striatum?

Once known as Belamcanda chinensis Lesley, but yes it does look rather like Sisyrinchium palmifolium.

Yes Hans, a nice variation.  Should be lots of seed.

Oh right, thanks. The only Belamcanda I've had was B. chinensis and it was spotty orange.  The pics just didn't seem iris-like to me.

It grows like Iris confusa, but I domestica always falls victim to slugs for me  :'(
