How cool is this Iris? I love getting up close to flowers to see all the crazy details you usually miss. This bearded iris has these intense, deep burgundy petals with super intricate white and violet veining.
But the best part is definitely that fuzzy, golden-yellow “beard” right in the center—it almost glows! The soft, blurred background makes the flower really pop. It’s a moody, dramatic, and beautiful piece of nature that’s perfect if you love unique florals that make a statement

I needed to go to the drugstore yesterday to pick up some pills — one of the first times I’ve been on a walk in a long time — and spotted this lovely dark iris in the neighbors yard. It was good to be out looking for photos again.

A Purple Iris In The Rose Garden
Who says you can only have roses in a rose garden? There were a number of striking iris there, too.
From the @calpolypomona rose garden. I think it at nearly the height of its bloom. It took me over an hour to work my way around the garden.

Iris on Cal Poly Pomona Campus
A lovely bit of Spring as I walked around campus a few weeks ago. The contrast of the bright yellow against the dark@green leaves really made them pop. This great bloom is probably another result of our good winter rains this year.
