Hayward what great shots !!! You have captured the colors, details and curves of these so well. I am glad that they finally bloomed for you! I agree with David about them being Iris's, we have tons in our yard that will bloom late summer

Very sharp images with lively colors! I like the DOF on the last one. And thanks to David for naming the flowers! I myself don't know it. Thanks for sharing.

Like flemenco dancers in their flowing purple gowns, these fantastic flowers grace the frame with a flurry of colour, light and shade. Beautifully captured and presented Hayward, excellent work as always
