The Royal Purple and Gold
Apr 27, 2020 02:09:33 #
A few years ago I got a couple of bulbs for lavender and a couple of bulbs for yellow bearded Iris and put them in two very large pots. The pots are now so crowded I need to get a few more large pots and spread them out. When I am allowed out of lock down again. If the nursery that sells the low priced pots straight from Mexico (less than 1/2 the price of other places) is still around and open.
Well the winds have been blowing pollen, the bees and butterflies have been doing their part etc So I now get lavender, mostly purple and yellow purple mixes and an occasional butter yellow Iris. No yellow yet this spring so I have to wait and see.
But here is my first Yellow-Purple Hybred of the year and as I was playing with the sliders for colors, suddenly the yellow turned to gold and knew it was time stop, crop and post.
I also included this one in my "Irises of Spring 2020" posts in the gallery and close-up.

Wow, great shot. I love the colors.
Thanks very much. For printing I am thinking of metallic finish paper.
