Iris leaves...

Often this is all we have. The Iris make tall, beautiful leaves, but not blooms. My mom says they need fertilizer, which I may try.

Love the color and POV… nice shallow DOF too.

[Pat Knowles]

Well that’s disappointing….I’m sure if you Google it might tell you why! They need a good talking to!

[LManning (Laura)]

Very pretty colours and light. The rhizomes may be planted too deeply. Iris won't flower if the rhizomes don't get some light and air.

[Kathy]

Not sure how you did it, but the purple background really sets these leaves off.

[Corinne C]

My very favorite flower!

[Bill]

They are very pretty when they bloom.

[Shutterbug]

Could be fertilizer or the bulbs may need thinning. At least the leaves are pretty. I hope you get blossoms this year.

[Ingrid]

Moms are often right. I like the green and purple!

[Jon Lip]

Nice dof.

[Kate]

Nice POV

@ljmanning Thanks for the suggestion, Laura!

@randystreat Ha! Thanks, Kathy! That is actually an old shipping container we have for storage. I used a very low f stop to blur the background.

[GaryW]

@corinnec Thanks! Certainly one of mine, too, Corinne!

[GaryW]
