More - (iris) - 23

These iris haven't flowered for a few years, it took our lovely spring rains to bring this
about. When processing I discovered the bloom has a heap of ants crawling over it!
I believe this is Iris pseudacorus - aka Yellow Flag.

We have several varieties of iris...here is one of the last of our Dutch iris. I started the month's Scavenger Hunt with a BLUE one.


The next lot of iris to bloom will be the bearded, we have heaps of those lining the
paths in the rose garden.

the ants seem to be having fun! I hope they aren't the biting variety.

Beautiful iris. They are so nice to photograph because of the lines and textures of the petals.
