I love your beautiful iris! Terrific capture.

Very pretty….thank you for the suggestion for flax seed oil for my eyes. I also have dry eye along with my other autoimmune issues and it seems that it take a long time for me to clear any kind of infection….Michelle
Beautiful shot. I love the incredible detail!
So beautiful… Thank you dear Fergie, love, nia
Soooooooooo beautiful… and I love the haiku!
Gorgeous! Such a pretty pink. It does look very silky.
Beautiful flower and I learned something. However, I’m not sure if this word will stick with me and roll off my tongue during a conversation at the pub 🙂
thanks for the English lesson (I’m German you know):
“Zygomorphic flower: A flower that can be divided into equal halves along only one line; bilaterally symmetrical…”
fantastic shot
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a peach iris — this is simply stunning! Great job on the challenge 🙂
Beautiful!
Have a wonderful day!

How beautiful. The color is soft and creative. 🙂
Irises are just so beautiful. I like them in all colours. Beautiful close up shot.
Brilliant interpretation! Z is always so difficult.
Never knew that!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Oh boy a two-fer – I got to view a beautiful flower and learned something too!
Zygomorphic and beautiful. Like a budding flower read to dazzle the world! Have a wonderful day.
Wonderful, Fergie! Love the photo and definitely the haiku 🙂
Wow Fergie!!! This is gorgeous…I have never seen a iris this color…I want some!!!
It’s a very wonderful image. It seems like a soft and velvet hand,
I never knew that before. Thanks for the “Z” trivia.
What a gorgeous iris!
Like the cropping of this beautiful flower
I’ve never thought of an iris as zygomorphic, but I’ll take your word for it! Your image is beautiful…and I like the POV and angle.
I love the iris, they grew wide along the water canals where I used to live. They are so delicate, and their petals just amazing! Great shot! Yx
That’s a truly interesting fact. And I love the pink hue of the flower too! Beautiful.
What a cool word. Love irises and snapdragons – your shot is a beauty.

So very lovely. I love how the iris seems to lean to appreciate the complement of your equally beautiful words!
