Almost as soon as I had blogged about the photo of daffodils being my favorite of the season, I took this photo of an Iris, which has now seized the top spot. I love how the purple petals stand out against the beige background but still look two-dimensional, like they’ve just been drawn on the wall. I also love how the beauty of the flower in full bloom is complemented by the arc of the stem to the right and the pink and purple peeking out of the bud.
