Wild Blue Flag Iris (Iris virginica) Blossom

Location: Upper Herring Lake Nature Preserve, MI

Year: 2010

Story: While covering spring in Benzie County for Pure Michigan I spent a lot of time at Upper Herring Lake Nature Preserve. In early June, a large area of wetlands fills with the blossoms of wild Blue Flag Irises (Iris virginica var shrevei) for a short period of intense beauty. This is my favorite image of one of these gorgeous flowers, taken from the boardwalk through the wetland.
