One of my fathers Irises. He loves his flower gardens.

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.

Life is so much more colourful and happy as all the flowers are coming into bloom. These irises only openned up a couple of days ago and they will be gone soon. They only seem to last a week to 10 days and I get so excited when they start to appear.

Blueflag Iris or Virginia Iris probably Iris viginica

More irises from the NC Zoo.

First iris of the season

Flowering iris

A large bloom iris that was originally a gift from my mother-in-law when we lived in NJ and we brought it along with us to Maine. It rained hard during the night and I took this in the morning.

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, 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, as well as some belonging 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. [Wikipedia]

At an Iris park in Tokyo, near my house

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.
