Iris is a genus of between 200-300 species of flowering plants with showy flowers. It takes its name from the Greek word for a rainbow, referring to the wide variety of flower colors found among the many species. As well as being the scientific name, iris is also very widely used as a common name; for one thing, it refers to all Iris species, but some plants called thus belong to closely related genera. In North America, a common name for irises is flags, while the subgenus Scorpiris is widely known as junos, particularly in horticulture.

Bonjour Georgia,
Agréable publication, très finement détaillée et délicatement colorée, dans un cadrage parfait avec une bonne opposition sur l'arrière plan.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.
