A white #Iris at the Swan Lake Iris Gardens in #Sumter, #SouthCarolina.
Originally the private fishing property of Hamilton Carr Bland, a wealthy citizen, Bland purchased #JapaneseIris bulbs, which failed to thrive in his manicured garden. Angry, Bland ordered his gardeners to throw the bulbs in the #marsh, which exploded in #blooms the next year. Bland expanded the property and left it to the city of Sumter, which maintains it as a park for the public.
