 Redbud Chapter of CNPS, Flora of Boggs Lake
One identification on the list bothers me though - Iris douglasiana (family Iridaceae) is a maritime, coastal species...the only way it could possibly be found around Boggs Lake would be if one of the local families bought it from some nursery and planted it there.
Two iris species are found on Harrington Flat road though: Iris macrosiphon (small, usually some shade of lavender, petals separate immediately at top of perianth tube) and Iris fernaldii (yellow, petals form a trumpet-like funnel above end of perianth tube before separating).
The two interbreed freely where their ranges overlap, so the identity of a specific plant might well be Iris fernaldii X macrosiphon.
