Flower of the Day – Bearded Iris

#Flower of the Day

Porterville, CA has an iris festival each year. I took these pictures mid-day, so I tried cropping them and changing the contrast in Photoshop. They had already been processed and reduced in quality, so they are not the best. One one of the pictures I experimented with some filters.

TC Iris Festival

This next one is my favorite.

2013 Iris Festival035LCsplatter We obviously don’t get enough rain here, so I’m wishing for a rainy day! hehehe.

Which one did you like best?

Do you have a picture of a bearded iris you’d like to share on Cee Neuner’s Flower of the Day Challenge?

I like the second one best. But I also like the darker and brighter colors 😀

  I thought you would. It’s almost the same colors as yours. 🙂

I like the second one, Marsha. For whatever reason, I’ve never care much for white flowers.

Marsha

Hi, I'm Marsha Ingrao, a retired educator and wife of a retired realtor. My all-consuming hobby is blogging and it has changed my life. My friends live all over the world. In November 2020, we sold everything and retired to the mile-high desert of Prescott, AZ. We live less than five miles from the Granite Dells, four lakes, and hundreds of trails with our dog, Kalev, and two cats, Moji and Nutter Butter. Vince's sister came with us and lives close by. Every day is a new adventure.
