  1. stinking iris

    Stinking Iris, scientifically known as Iris foetidissima, is a species of flowering plant in the family Iridaceae. It is a perennial herb native to western Europe, including the British Isles. It got its name from the unpleasant smell produced by crushing its leaves. The plant is known for its bright orange seeds that are visible in autumn and winter, and its purple-blue, pale yellow, or pale green flowers that bloom in the summer. Despite its name and smell, it's often used in gardens for ornamental purposes.
