Irises are great flowers and your shot does them justice. It is gorgeous.

Gorgeous! Iris is growing in the wild also in Norway. For some reason they are always the same colour: the same as you have hear! Well, I haven't seen any other color...

Beautiful shot!
Wish you a great week!

I have an ever-growing clump of these in one of my yards. They're long gone but were most lovely when they were all in bloom.

Iris are among my favorite flowers.

I love the smaller Iris. Japanese, Siberian or Pacific coast one. Or even more I don't know about. All beautiful. Great capture. MB
