This is the "driveby iris". I was working in the garden one day and a woman I had never met drove by with a pickup truck full of irises she was moving. She stopped and gifted me a large clump of them.
They are heavy bloomers and nice vigorous growers. 3/4 of row 10 along the front edge of my border garden is edged with these.
Only two blooms so far (both opened today) but there's buds everywhere. Should be very flowery here soon!
Whats the most difficult colour to reproduce on a white page?
White!
Seems a bit stiff and forced to me. It looks "nice" but doesn't have the "pop" of the stelitzia. Maybe the greenish background was a mistake? Don't know. it was a hard drawing to do.

Catching up with the backlog. The memory of this particular weekend remains fresh and it is certainly a real pleasure for me to start work on the many exposures made over the 2 days.

This is day two of my Iris blooms, and we have a nice rainfall to augment their beauty with
raindrops.
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, referring to the wide variety of flower colors found among the many species.
This one comes from my garden.
