The usual iris

There’s a large number of these more common irises blooming in the tree box in front of our house. This isn’t my favorite composition of all the shots I took when they first bloomed, but it’s the only one that accurately reflects the color, which is a deep purple and not the magenta that my iPhone usually produced.

Another one of my favorite irises, posted earlier:

They're all pretty, different shades of purple. Maybe tomorrow you'll show us a violet one, haha. I'm getting greedy. ~VVVVV~
