Iris Flowers
View allAll Photos Tagged iris
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...

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!
A beautiful Blue Iris, just awakening and unfurling and being hit by light!!! Sacrebleu, it SCREAMED!!!
Irises can be very showy.

This will be the only other Iris photo I will show. The rest of them had focus problems I just couldn't live with.
I had a really difficult time telling, through the viewfinder, when it was in focus properly (my lenses are so old and beat up, they won't auto-focus anymore... well ONE lens won't... the other one won't manual focus. sigh.)
So here is the other iris shot I was willing to share. I has focus issues too, but not as bad.
Alison, below, says the colors are off the scale... she meant it is beautiful, but I realize the colors really ARE off the scale. However, I like it that way, so vivid!
Iris Time To Bloom!
(photos from last year) May 20, 2021, Missouri Botanical Garden, St. Louis, Missouri
... photo taken near where I live in Nottingham.
Camera: Canon 5D Mk2 with my 24-105mm Canon lens
Software used:
- Lightroom 5
- Topaz Studio - pre-sets: Paint by numbers & then Expressionism, both used partially.
- Photoshop Elements for everything else.
I was thinking about Paul Gauguin's use of colour and Georgia O'Keeffe's exotic flowers while I was editing my photo.

I love wild irises and was delighted to see that they are beginning to bloom in the field where we train the dogs. Choose the one you like the most.
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.
