Description
This photograph of a multicolor iris was taken this past spring while visiting the Denver Botanical Garden in Denver Colorado. I was drawn to this iris for it royal blue petals, the soft white petals ontop, and how the sunlight was hitting it. I hope you have enjoyed this photograph and will share it with others.
