Immortality Bearded Iris (c) 2010 Patty Hankins
I’ve just added a new photo – Immortality Bearded Iris – to my Beautifulflowerpictures.com website. Immortality Bearded Iris are known for their ruffled white petals and their pale yellow beards. This variety is known for blooming once in the spring and then once again in late summer early fall. I photographed this lovely iris at Brookside Gardens in Wheaton, Maryland.
This photograph is available as a 10X10″ gallery-wrapped canvas. You can order Immortality Bearded Iris from my website and I will have it available at shows this year.

Last week, I spent about an hour photographing Bearded Irises at Brookside Gardens – between the raindrops. The flowers were gorgeous, with great diffuse light provided by the cloudy sky. The only problem was – the occasional sprinkles that turned to a downpour.
Even with the weather – I came back with some wonderful photos of bearded irises.
The first cultivator I photographed was Monet’s Blue – the flowers are a lovely shade of light blue.

Then I found a wonderful deep purple iris to photograph – Grape Adventure.

Finally – Immortality – a white bearded Iris. I spent a fair amount of time with the Immortality Iris – I loved the play of shadows and light in the petals of the white flower.

I’m hoping to photograph more bearded irises in the next couple of weeks. They are one of my favorite late spring flowers.
