#Iris season is just over here, but here is the lovely "Gold of Ophir", #HistoricIris from 1955. This was the first year it bloomed in my #garden. As you can see, it appreciates some shade in Arizona!

Not tired of #irises yet! I'll take them as long as they'll go on blooming. Our recent cool down has extended spring a little longer, it seems.

Portrait of an #iris ,still the gorgeous yellow-frothed Sespe (TB Walker 1949). Yellows in the background come from brittlebrush (Encelia farinosa) which has bloomed very enthusiastically this spring.

A single iris bloom with primrose yellow standards and butter yellow falls, facing directly at the viewer. The background is blurred, a mix of yellow, green, and tan.

More from the #Garden... This is #Iris "Sespe" in bloom.
I can only wish this very rare iris was better known and more widely grown. It certainly is a good doer here in Arizona.

Two lightly ruffled irises in soft yellows bloom along a long stem.

Am I late for #GardensHour? The main iris blooming season has just begun here in desert Arizona. This is Conquistador, historic tall bearded iris from 1921. Still gorgeous and a good grower!

Portrait of a pale yellow iris
If I could only have one #iris in the #garden, I think Sespe would be that one. Its tall, sculptural foliage lights up with these floating, airy blooms.

Evening sun doing it's magic again yesterday. First flowers on Iris 'Susan Bliss' bought last year. Really vigorous for an older variety.

Iris in the abstract
This was shot in #monochrome setting in my old Nikon D3200, straight out of camera. Arilbred iris Sheriffa, w its rainbow of purples, is still a beauty even w/o color.

Black and white photograph of a long iris bloom set against a soft white background. To the left of the flower, the photo divides into a dark section, which emphasizes the reversal of dark flower on light background.
