Wild Blue Iris scientifically known as ‘Iris Missouriensis’. It has light blue to deep violet rarely white flowers. These kinds of flowering species usually bloom from May to June. Rocky Mountain iris was employed medicinally by several native North American Indian tribes who used it to treat various complaints, but especially as an external application for skin problems. It was for a time an official American medicinal plant, but is little, if at all, used in modern herbalism.
