There are flag irises growing in the gardens at my block of units.
I toook this on a day when i already had something else chosen for the photo-a-day.
There have been a few occasions since then when i've thought of taking a picture of the flag irises for the photo-a-day. Invariably, on those particular days, the irises are having an "off" day, and there are no good flowers to photograph.
I suppose that once i post this old picture, i will find that the irises will once again be flowering beautifully when i dont need them to.

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.
