These fall iris are lasting a long time and providing much needed colours this time of year. The burning bush is quite colourful too!

I think these are the prettiest irises I've ever seen. When they go to seed, I'm going to grab a few pods :)

While I love irises, they area a tricky flower to take photos of.
This has just a slight Levels adjustment.
This is a really lame image, but it shows that the petals are basically gone ("obsolete"), unlike most irises. The big beautiful floppy blue things are the sepals. The bee here was very active (YES, a busy bee...) thrusting him(her?)self deep between the sepal and the inner surface of the style. Of course there is an anther down in there being ravaged.
