Dwarf iris (Iris lacustris)

Another photo of these tiny iris (about 5 inches tall), which emerge in spring. They are native to Ontario but not the Ottawa region (though they do grow here quite well when planted). Their typical range is further south of here.

Canon PowerShot SX20 IS
1/320s f/3.5 at 5.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

The iris is one of my favorite flowers...never knew there was a dwarf version. Thanks for sharing!
