For a beautiful iris--color!
#2, the color provides more definition and texture.
My preference is the first one. The colors are somewhat subdued. Therefore, not a very important part of the photograph. The black and white emphasizes the textures which play a more important role in the presentation than those subdued colors.

I think #2 does it for me.
I think the little color has a little punch to it.

My choice would totally depend on the mood I happen to be in. Just completed a project so the color is the choice at this time. Both are very nice. Thanks for sharing.

I vote for #2. Color does more justice to the flower. The black-and-white just looks lifeless to me.
Number 2, the subdued colors enhances the image.

I have to agree with most everyone else.
This Iris does not have enough different tones to make it pop in B&W.
The color version does bring out the textures and detail much better.
