Iris, a flower to be found in almost every garden. Shared and swapped, this easy to grow perennial is a long standing favourite in all its forms and varieties. I love them and have a collection of iris in many sizes and colours. There is nothing like the beauty of masses of iris blooming in the spring.

This image began as a digital photograph, taken with my daughter’s Canon Rebel in spring 2008. I love to explore digital manipulation of photographs. I used digital effects to enhance the edges of the petals and create watercolour like textures in this image of a single beautiful bloom.

This digital image is available as a paper or canvas print at my Zazzle gallery.
