When I think if irises, I think about Bearded Irises, Siberian irises, Flag irises and the little dwarf irises I see in the early spring. It turns out that gladiolus are members of the iris family too! So today I have photos of some beautiful Blue Flag Irises photographed at Mt Cuba Center and some wonderful Gladiolus photographed at a local farm and in my studio to share with you.

As I’ve been editing photos this spring – I found several older iris photos I hadn’t edited or shared. And then with the flowers starting to bloom here in the DC area – I was able to photograph some dwarf irises. I thought I’d share all my recently edited iris photos with you today.

I’ve recently added a new photograph – Siberian Iris Pair – to my website at https://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/siberian-iris-pair/

Siberian irises are some of my favorite flowers. With the dark purple flowers, I love seeing the contrast between the purple and yellow in the petals. As I photographed this pair of irises, I loved how I could capture the not only the complementary shades of purple and yellow but also the fascinating structure of these wonderful flowers.
