We had several Irises in bloom this last spring; they usually bloom at the end of May. Every year, I attempt to make some images of these fabulous plants. The “beard” of an Iris flower is always the most difficult to capture successfully. This year… success!
Focus stacking is one tool that allows one to capture details of the beard. Patience is also required; the slightest breeze will upset focus at a macro scale.
I made a couple of images of budding flower from this plant.
Buds lower on the stalk of an Iris plant usually start to bud later than buds at the tip. I found this bud at a lower level.
On another plant, I found this bud lower down the stalk.
It has been a while since last posting images. More to come!
