Wild Iris
Springerville, AZ - Becker Wildlife Area - The Wild Iris, Western Blue Flag, Rocky Mountain iris, and Missouri Flag (Iris Missouriensis) is a perfectly shaped miniature of the domesticated Iris - which comes from various wild irises.

on September 4, 2018Beautiful shot. It's always a thrill to me to see such treasures in the wild. That's where all garden flowers started, after all.

on September 4, 2018Outstanding flower photo. It is nicely framed and tack sharp. The background is nicely out of focus. Well done.

on September 3, 2018How pretty! Love the colors. I had a couple that bloomed this Spring that looked (not same color - just shape) which makes me wonder know if they were miniatures or not. I just thought that mine were deformed for some reason. Great shot.

on September 3, 2018Lovely wild iris. Haven't heard the name Springerville for a long time. I visited there a couple of times when my sister lived there--flew into PHX and rented a car for the drive to Springerville.
