Sunlit Iris


After 3 days of temperatures in the 80’s, very unusual for this area, the yard is a riot of spring colors. The Japanese, Dutch and bearded iris are beginning to bloom with their showy and complex structures. The flowers have fascinating shapes and colors and their translucent quality adds to some complex plays of light and shadow. This flower was an amazing color combination of mauve and ultramarine blue. I set it against a background of rich evergreens.
