Back-lit, late sunny afternoon shot, reflector used. I kept my portrait lens wide-open and, secondly, sprayed the bush behind with water. All these conditions together produced the beautiful bokeh. Words are not enough to describe the beauty of the Iris. Processed in Luminar and macOS High Sierra photo editor.

Native to the Mediterranean and central Asian areas.
Also the source of orrisroot from which essence of violet perfume is made.
Have a good one

This Iris is not real. I made it from white clay and painted with oil colors. I have 3 of them in my office as a decoration. Several days ago, the sunshine came through the window and made these irises look so magnificent. That why I have this picture.
The detail is not neat enough, so I used soft focus to cover the defect. :-))
Thank you very much for your comments my dear friends! :-))

Sacre bleu is an old French profanity, meant as a cry of surprise or anger.
I don't talk to flowers, they talk to me and I gladly listen, with my eyes!

Irises can be very showy.

I was given Iris bulbs by a friend who needed to divide hers. They were planted in the back of my house in an area where the soil is not the best but only location I had for them. This Spring many grew but only one blossomed with two blooms. Aren't they a beauty with that delicious blue/purple color!!

The irises come up every year, they are grown in a flower pot not a flower bed.
From archives, too cold and overcast to take photos.
Have a sunny day
The iris flower is an example of the relation between flowering plants and pollinating insects. The shape of the flower and the position of the pollen-receiving and stigmatic surfaces on the outer petals form a landing-stage for a flying insect, which in probing for nectar, will first come into contact with the perianth, then with the three stigmatic stamens in one whorled surface which is borne on an ovary formed of three carpels. Thus, an insect bearing pollen from one flower will, in entering a second, deposit the pollen on the stigma; in backing out of a flower, the pollen which it bears will not be rubbed off on the stigma of the same flower.
