This variety put out a few blooms this year. In all, only 5 of my 25 varieties bloomed, so I was happy to see this.

This is the first of my second ten thousand photos (see yesterdays post) All previous iris shots have been trashed. I like this one better....much better....thanks to a little trick I learned from Scott Kelby on a you tube video...when working a shot always include one or two taken on the diagonal not just the standard horizontal and vertical. First glimpse into my diagonally held camera I knew this iris was going to be a winner...just because it filled the frame well.....the iris was growing straight. To tilt it worked. What do you all think?
In our conditions this Iris should flower in late winter. Yet, to our delight, it now produced two flowers completely out of season.
Presby Memorial Iris Gardens, located at the base of the 7 1/2 acre Mountainside Park, contain over 10,000 irises of approximately 1,500 varieties and produce over 100,000 blooms over the course of the season. Because of the colorful iris along the beds, this garden is also often referred to as the 'Rainbow on the Hill' by visitors.
