Purple Streaker Iris © 2013 Patty Hankins
I’ve recently added a new photo – Purple Streaker Iris – to my Beautifulflowerpictures.com website.
I recently spent some time photographing at the Presby Memorial Iris Gardens in New Jersey. I’d heard they had a spectacular collection of irises – spectacular doesn’t even begin to describe what I found. Irises in colors and combinations of colors I’d never seen before. One of the first to catch my eye – and probably my favorite iris I photographed that day – was the Purple Streaker Iris. I thought the patterns of purple and white in the petals were incredible. With a little research, I discovered that the Purple Streaker Irises are what are known as broken color irises – where each one is different from the next due to genetic instability in the plants.
This photograph is available as a 18 X 12″ or 36 X 30″ gallery-wrapped canvas. You can order Purple Streaker Iris from my website.
