Now that's a stunning looking Iris I must say. Wow.

It could easily have won the part in that old original Star Trek episode and squirted hallucinogenic spores up Spock's nose, causing him to sing the songs of love... 💘

@PhoenixSerenity one of my primal memories is of standing at the edge of a bed of fully blooming bearded purple irises. The blooms were level with my face, so I think I would have been nearly 2 years of age. The smell is embedded in my psyche to this day (as is the sense memory of feeling the spring sunshine, bees and gentle breeze causing everything to move and sway).
