Wild Iris

Wild Iris

June and July in Juneau, AK. Wild Iris have been in full bloom. I look forward to July's progression as many more flowers will be blossoming.

Wanna add it to the Iris album?

It might turn out to be one of the best shots there :)

Re: Wanna add it to the Iris album?

Just added, what a cool album! This is the first Iris I've ever seen in nature. I had no idea there were so many types of Iris- over 200 species!! Thanks for the suggestion and kind words!

Hi Larry! It's definitely one of the most beautiful flowers I've ever seen. It's crazy how these just "stick out" in the meadow near my house.

Re: What a vibrant

Haha, nope- no apple trees around here. I'm living in Juneau, AK for the summer as a kayaking/hiking guide. They've got me nested in a pretty cool meadow about 25 miles north of the town. It's a pretty sweet gig!
