Jazzy Iris

Description

Two jazzy bi-colored Iris take best of show in my Spring garden, this year. I planted these bulbs 3 years ago and they haven't bloomed very much. This year, with all of our Spring rain, they are putting on quite a show and they are covered in blooms. I hope that you enjoy them as much as I have.
Original image of Iris in the garden was taken in Southern Oregon. I added two layers of Iris to get a full image and then added two layers of texture and removing the texture partially from the front Iris to make them stand out.
This image was processed in Nik Color Efex Pro, Topaz Glow, Topaz Impression
Texture by Jai Johnson

Gorgeous work, Diane... a fav!!! Their bloom pattern is so typical of iris... first they sleep, then they creep, then they leap! Enjoy those lovely blooms. :o) #1686611
