Tour de France Bearded Irise

Tour de France Bearded Iris (c) 2010 Patty Hankins

I’ve just added a new photo – Tour de France Bearded Iris – to my Beautifulflowerpictures.com website.

I just photographed this iris a week ago at Brookside Gardens in Wheaton, Maryland. I loved the contrast of the bright white and bold gold of the petals against the dark greens and reds of the leaves of other plants in the garden. It is one of the most spectacular irises I’ve ever seen. The iris was named after the Tour de France and the gold of the petals honors the yellow jersey worn by the leaders during the race.

This photograph is available as either a 10X10″  gallery-wrapped canvas.  You can order  Tour de France Bearded Iris from my website and I will have it available at shows this year.
