Bearded Iris (Iris germanica)

Saw these in an open garden in Oxfordshire at the weekend. Couldn't resist a shot. Apparently ones like this are quite rare.

Lovely piccie - the background is also very effective - natural or P'Shop?

Natural, not Photoshop Marise, thanks. Light on Sunday was very good - cloud cover uniform, just letting a hint of brightness through - coudn't have bettered it if I was trying in a studio! Also dead dead still mostly - a must for photographing flowers. Longer focal length lens used and the fact that the flowers were at the edge of a shaded border made it tend to darkness with no business in that background.
