Picked yesterday morning in Lakeside, California.
Other plants and flowers that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my strobe lit plant set. In the description, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/...

This plant came from stock initially collected at Kuh-e-Abr in the Elburz Mountains of Iran at 2,700 metres.
It has a nice clear blue colouration that isn't tarnished by magenta or violet hues.
Once again, I did not have time to get to the wetlands this weekend, but I did find myself wandering around my mom's garden. The irises are now out...I guess Spring really is here :). I thought this one added a bit of color to this gloomy Monday (very overcast here this morning). Now time for work.

Growing in our back yard in the Broadmoor Neighborhood, Little Rock
The photo was taken by Olympus pen E-P3 with Ai Nikkor 35mm f/2.0 when I took a stroll in my neighbourhood.
I am irritated at so slow response of flickr after changed to new looks. Visibility has been improved a lot but quick response have been lost. I really hope flickr to improve the response time.
Thank you for viewing and have a wonderful Friday.

Chacun de nous ignore la couleur de l'iris de presque tous ses amis. L'oeil est regard : il n'est oeil que pour l'oculiste et pour le peintre.

Iris is a genus of 260–300[1][2] 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.[3] As well as being the scientific name, iris is also very widely used as a common name for all Iris species, though some plants called thus belong to other closely related genera. A common name for some species is 'flags', while the plants of the subgenus Scorpiris are widely known as 'junos', particularly in horticulture. It is a popular garden flower. (Wiki)
Talk about cheering me up when I'm sick. I hadn't seen one of these for years. I was under the impression all the purple ones had died, leaving nothing but yellow irises. Then, out of nowhere this guy made an appearance today!! I grabbed the camera to get a few quick shots before the rain. What a wonderful discovery! :)
