Intimate Iris photograph by Michele Avanti

The first flower in our garden is the gorgeous Iris. It began to unfurl today and I had to capture it. Purple petals, dusty pollen, all lit by the late afternoon sun.

Irises are perennial plants, growing from creeping rhizomes (rhizomatous irises) or, in drier climates, from bulbs (bulbous irises). They have long, erect flowering stems which may be simple or branched, solid or hollow, and flattened or have a circular cross-section. The rhizomatous species usually have 3 -10 basal sword-shaped leaves growing in dense clumps. The bulbous species have cylindrical, basal leaves.
