may 25 wet iris by Kathie
by noearlybird

My very first Iris bloomed today. It rained and was windy so I had to sneak out very quickly during a calm period and get this. I cut off the bottom of the bloom but still liked the way this looked. I will get lots more, the first bloom is a moment for me. Did you hear me screaming at my kids to stay away from this flower bed the last few days??

Great image Kathie, the rain drops make the interest but the lighting and colour set the scene. Well done.
