Iris Flowers

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.
No perdon para "las nubes", no no no no para "el Arco Iris", que alguien me diga para quien es el Oscar por favor, jejeje.
Feliz Martes de nubes para todos y todas
The Iris has something mysterious about it. In her color palette she has colors that other flowers do not carry. And something magical. She is named after the goddess of the rainbow
Paintings of the flower can be found in the Egyptian pyramids, which scientists believe date back to 1500 BC. Even after that, the iris had a glorious life. She decorated the coats of arms of Louis XVIII (to protect against death) and was a regular model for the painter Vincent van Gogh. Irises belong to the Iris family (Idraceae)

Iris is a genus of 260–300 species of flowering plants with showy flowers. It takes its name from the Greek word for a rainbow, referring to the wide variety of flower colours found among the many species. Wikipedia
Bearded iris is among the most elegant -- and easy to grow -- flowers of spring.
The iris's mythology dates back to Ancient Greece, when the goddess Iris, who personified the rainbow (the Greek word for iris), acted as the link between heaven and earth. It's said that purple irises were planted over the graves of women to summon the goddess Iris to guide them in their journey to heaven.

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!

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!!

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!
