      Plant Identification Help (Grass)

      Hi there, I got a ton of free plants from a lady closing down her pond and I have identified them all but these grasses. I'm of course hoping they are irises or cattails... but guessing they are likely just grass. Either way, any help you could give in identification would be great! I added some images that show the rhizomes (I think) as well.

      Thank you in advance!

      Based on what appears to be a rhizome in the second picture, I would guess you are correct in thinking they are Iris.

      Those look like irises and the last picture are definitely iris blooms. You should have lots of blooms.

      Thank you all, much appreciated. Here's hoping for Irises!

      Also, if my Lotus make seeds this year (as I suspect they will) if anyone wants some I'll gladly mail them to you. No idea what color/size they are but I'll post when they come up!
