Toujours un plaisir pour moi de photographier des iris.
Always a pleasure for me to photograph some iris !
Iris foetidissima, the stinking iris, gladdon, Gladwin iris, roast-beef plant, or stinking gladwin, is a species of flowering plant in the family Iridaceae, found in open woodland, hedgebanks and on sea-cliffs. Wikipedia.
This grows readily in our garden and seeds around freely. Most of the plants we have are self-sets left to do their own thing. Don't dead-head the flowers when finished and you will be rewarded with these bright seed pods in the autumn and winter. This plant was catching the orange sunrise today.
Iris morphology is the product of evolution acting to attract and compete for pollinators- a landing pad, guides to help find nectar and pollen, and even shelter from inclement weather. The function of fthe beard is uncertain though. The showiest outer parts are bracts, modified leaves, which surround the petals.
The irises are peaking just in time for a major winter storm sweeping through Colorado- 8 inches (20 cm) for the plains, 24 inches (60 cm) for the mountains.
