Iris wanted to show you her stripes

This is the newest early winter iris that comes out one, by one. I don't know what breed of iris it is but it's lovely under the camera's spotlight!

Obviously its a zebra Iris - the contrast of yellow and purple just blows me away.

@sailingmusic Thanks Myrna for your fav and PP - wow! Would never have known!

@doblaine It's not a bearded iris David. It grows from a bush with straplike leaves and there are numerous flowers coming out one by one! Perhaps its not even an iris!
