Iris with some kind of bugs

I visited the botanic garden today, as Baton Rouge has not yet ordered us to stay home. Like many places now it was almost deserted and a little creepy. The complex, with the public library (currently closed), a playground and soccer fields as well as the garden, is usually busy, but today there were only a few homeless-looking men, one of them talking loudly to himself. The iris were pretty but I didn't stay long.
This is rather lovely. Are the little bugs maybe aphids?

Such a pretty flower- but I think those bugs might be some sort of parasite. Still a lovely shot!

Great shot. Edmonton has shut down all public facilities like this

@bkbinthecity Thanks for the comment. Some places in Baton Rouge are closed, too, but other places are open if people stay 6 feet apart.

@joysabin Thanks. I thought maybe they were aphids, too, but I'm not sure.

The color is such a nice deep purple. if you can get out maybe find some spray that kills aphids.
