Description
This photograph of yellow irises was taken while visiting a friends garden in Rock Falls, Illinois this past spring.. This iris in particular was a standout because of it's bright yellow and white color.
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, referring 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, though some plants called thus belong to other closely related genera. It is a popular garden flower.
Irises are perennial plants, growing from creeping rhizomes (rhizomatous irises) or, in drier climates, from bulbs (bulbous irises). They have long, erect flowering stems which may be simple or branched, solid or hollow, and flattened or have a circular cross-section. The rhizomatous species usually have 3-10 basal sword-shaped leaves growing in dense clumps. The bulbous species have cylindrical, basal leaves.
I hope you have enjoyed this photograph. You can see more of my work on my homepage in the various galleries I have created. Thank you for visiting and please come back.
