Description
This macro photograph of a beautiful purple iris was take while on a drive through the country. I came upon a grouping of iris in a ditch, I enjoy taking close up shots of my subject matter allowing the viewer of the work to see the detail that I am seeing while taking the photograph.
The Iris is a genus of 260-300 species of flowering plants with showy flowers. It takes its name from the Greek word for a rainbow, which is also the name for the Greek goddess of the rainbow, Iris. Some authors state that the name refers to the wide variety of flower colors found among the many species. As well as being the scientific name, iris is also very widely used as a common name for all Iris species, as well as some belonging to other closely related genera.
I hope you have enjoyed this photograph. You can see more of my work on my homepage. Your comments on my work are greatly appreciated. Thank you for visiting and please come back.
