An iris is referred to as "bearded" when the variety has hair-like structures on the drooping sepals, seen here in orange. Bearded Iris also tend to be quite fragrant, making them a great choice for the garden.
Photo taken at The Oregon Garden in Silverton, OR (USA).
This is an odd iris. I believe the specific type is called a space-age iris because it has little weird poky things that stick out by the beards. It has a mottled spotty look to it. Not as appealing as the flashier purples, but interesting nonetheless.

Not sure of the variety. Just a quick pic of one the Iris blooms in Mom's yard.
Taken with my Nikon Cool Pix and adjusted in Corel for lighting. I was suprised with the result I got from just an ordinary looking original photo. I'm thinking I may need to do the same to a few more of the better shots and see what happens. ;)

The Sass brothers bred this in Nebraska in 1938. Beautiful in bud and bloom. I like the curiously tucked falls.

A macro view of an iris blossom. I like the organic line that flows through it and the depth.
This shot has a Photo-Coincidence ! Look for other Photo-Coincidences in the "What a Photo-Coincidence !" Group .
My image was taken on a nice day in the garden with no knowledge of the story of mimbrava's photo linked above.
And on the exact same day spokanitis posted This one yet another coincidence.
We discovered some irises growing in the backyard and I am really enjoying them when I take out the compost.
a neighbor gave me a few iris plants last year and they've spread nicely -- nice to have some color in early summer
