    It's starting to be Iris time around here, I think it's a bit late this year. Have a few more new ones blooming, these were inherited from Grandma's house. She loved her iris.

    I particularly like this one, sometimes it looks like a chocolate brown, sometimes purple depending on the light.

    I'm in love!! :smt049 What absolutely gorgeous Iris. The lilac one is a beauty but it's the first one I've fallen for. What wonderful rich colours it has. :D

    I love that first one. It's beautiful and I have never seen one like it before.

    Your iris foto's are gorgeous.
    I like the care that you have taken with composition of the macro shots.
    I'm guessing you have a thing for irises.
