Most of my neighbors have the purple irises, but my collection has all kinds of rainbow action. And are they ever in form this year, especially the front bed I have been nurturing all spring.
These are all ones that have been growing here since I have had the place, I just move them around and about.
Purple iris bloom in my yard but this one blooms in my neighbor's property, close enough to edge so I can capture it's magnificence. Website: henriphotography.com Blog: henriphotography.wordpress.com/
When I came back from work two days ago this beautiful Iris blossom waited for me in the garden. It must have opened overnight – a wonderful surprise.
I call this an Easter Iris, becaues it's the only time of year I notice this plant blooming in the swamp. It's not hard to spot in all the green.
This is a composite of 2 images stacked for enhanced DOF, the alternative would have been flash I suppose but I wanted to try this. Looking closely I can see it needed another layer in the middle

My mom grew Irises in her garden. Most of them were single colored. She had one call a paintbrush that was multi-colored. When we planted a flowerbed at our house, we chose to plant some Irises, too. Thanks, Mom for teaching me about simple beauty.
I don't often photograph flowers - especially if they don't have insects on them - but I liked this iris. Blooming on its own, at the margin of a pond at Chambers Farm Wood.
I went for an early morning walk on Saturday where I found this Iris growing on the Woodland Walk. Have a great weekend! Chicago Botanic Garden Mar 26, 2011 L1160202.dng
