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.
The tall and elegant Dutch iris are blooming too...

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.

A favorite wildflower. So much more elegant and simple beauty compared to its domesticated and less hardy cousin. Photographed in the Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge in western Wisconsin.
Canterbury Shaker Village - Wild Iris

Canon 5D Mark ii with Canon 24-105mm F4L IS USM
Historic Canterbury Shaker Village is one of my favorite haunts. While some come to tour the historic buildings and to learn of the Shaker culture, I enjoy the simplicity of the grounds and the opportunities to pursue captures of images for both wildlife and landscape photography.
Iris is one of my favorite flowers and imagine my surprise to seeing them growing wild beside the pond.
Hope you enjoy!

Our next-door neighbors have given me an open invitation to photograph their flowers. I didn't mind kneeling in the rain to take this one.
