    The green really accentuates the purple in this - really lovely!

    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

    I have been trying to figure out what's the difference between irises and flags. Not trying very hard, though.
    I love the colours of this one!!
