Bearded irises

Here are pics of the gorgeous bearded irises, please excuse the quality of the photos. Can you imagine a HUGE bouquet of these? high drama and gorgeousness. Too bad these flowers are so wilty and this ultra-deep violet hue particularly happens to stain! Imagine the horrors on a wedding gown… yikes. Perfect for the uncoventional bride with a black gown… (if that’s you, um, call me). You know how some cameras tend to take and show certain colors differently? Well in real life these were basically black. so in love…

(btw that’s Lucy’s behind in the background… what a ham).. I tried to take a bouquet with me to SF, but they got all wilty and dead on me. bummer.
