I uploaded a few Iris photos on the PBS wiki. Each of the following Iris
were photographed this morning at 7:00 AM, the temperature was 28 degrees
Fahrenheit at the time (frozen), but unlike crocus, at least the Iris reticulata
cultivars and allied species have the decency to stay open in low light or when
frozen, a blessing for the harried working man or woman.

Iris 'Katherine Hodgkin' - an ethereal beauty, I posted two close-up shots
showing the intricately marked blooms.

Iris histrio - a beautiful little species akin to reticulata, with baby blue
flowers and intricate markings.

Iris 'Lady Beatrice Stanley' - another reticulata type, with wedgewood blue
flowers, broad falls and detailed markings.
