Please, please please no graphics with your comment.

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.

This Iris was planted in one of the borders in RHS Hyde Hall, Rettendon, Essex.

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! :-))

The 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 colors found among the many species.

As well as being the scientific name, iris is also very widely used as a common name for all Iris species.

It is a popular garden flower. The genus is widely distributed throughout the north temperate zone. Their habitats are varied, ranging from cold and montane regions to the grassy slopes, meadowlands and riverbanks of the northern hemisphere.

Irises are perennial plants, growing from creeping rhizomes (rhizomatous irises) or, in drier climates, from bulbs (bulbous irises). They have long, erect flowering stems. All irises have long steal and flowers with six petals, three downwards and three upright. The flowers can range in color from golden yellow, to white, blue, lavender and purple. Pink and apricot colored irises are grown in some species.

 

De lis (Iris) is een plantengeslacht uit de lissenfamilie (Iridaceae). Zowel het geslacht als de soorten worden in de volksmond vaak iris genoemd. Het geslacht kent naast zo'n 260 à 300 beschreven soorten ook vele cultivars. Lissen worden al lang door de mens gebruikt. In de Egyptische piramiden zijn afbeeldingen van lissen te vinden, die stammen uit 1500 v.Chr.

De verschillende soorten lissen komen algemeen voor in de noordelijke gematigde klimaatzone. Alle irissen hebben lange stelen en bloemen met zes kroonbladeren, waarvan drie naar beneden wijzen en drie rechtop staan. Bij sommige kleinere soorten wijzen de kroonbladeren allemaal naar buiten. De bloemen kunnen in kleur variëren van goudgeel, tot wit, blauw, lavendel en paars. Roze en abrikooskleurige irissen zijn gekweekt binnen sommige soorten.

De meeste wilde lissen groeien uit een wortelstok, maar sommige soorten groeien vanuit een bol. Deze laatste soorten worden als cultuurgewas geteeld.

Deze foto is gemaakt in de siertuin van De Passiflorahoeve.

De Passiflorahoeve is oktober 2022 definitief gesloten.

natural light, I love how they've opened.

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.
