Iris

If I had my career to start again, I might specialize in the Iris family. I really love the diversity of floral shapes, colors, and habitat adaptations of the genera and species in the family. There is a diversity hotspot in South Africa. Alas, the group has been thoroughly worked by other systematists, but I still love the group.
