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.

Iris flowers open in the Spring shortly after daffodils and tulips. Once the flower buds reach maturity, the base of the flower elongates to push the bud out from the sheath that surrounded it. Once extended, flower opening occurs with three petals often called the "standards", and three outer petal-like sepals called the "falls". Iris flowers enjoy a lot of sunshine and remain open for several days.
