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.
Two of these white beauties on a stalk at one time is a treat.
This will be the last of the iris pics for a while. The calla lilies are about to bloom!
This is a Iris 'Connection'.
Iris is a genus of about 260–300, species of flowering plants with showy flowers. It takes its name from the Greek word for a rainbow, which is also the name for the Greek goddess of the rainbow, Iris. Some authors state that the name refers 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.
This is the flower whose closeup appeared yesterday.
Remember, no photos in comments and no notes, please.
And forgive me for not being able to visit much. It will be a while before I can resume spending as much time on Flickr as I used to and want to.
