Description
2D image of The bearded iris cultivar 'Mary Todd'.
The most commonly found garden iris is the bearded German Iris (I. germanica) and its numerous cultivars. Various wild forms and naturally occurring hybrids of the Sweet iris (I. pallida) and the Hungarian iris (I. variegata) form the basis of almost all modern hybrid bearded irises. Median forms of bearded iris (intermediate bearded, or IB; miniature tall bearded, or MTB; etc.) are derived from crosses between tall and dwarf varieties.
The bearded irises are easy to cultivate and propagate, and have become very popular in gardens. A small selection is usually held by garden centres at appropriate times during the season, but there are thousands of cultivars available from specialist suppliers. They are best planted as bare root plants in late summer, in a sunny open position with the rhizome visible on the surface of the soil and facing the sun. They should be divided in summer every two or three years, when the clumps become congested.

Lovely unusual angle of an Iris flower capturing it's yellow centre as it's purple petals burst forth

I assumed it was an iris right from the start, because of flowers that I have shot in the past. However this is far different than anything I have ever seen. Nice camera work and a beautiful image. Well done Brian!~DUG

Beautiful iris. A shame that they don't last longer, but you caught it at the peak of color and full bloom.
