Wow, Marilyn, that iris must be amazing. The slice itself makes for a very fine banner. It looks to me to be a wonderfully exotic bird flying away. (Do you see it?)

Wonderful banner, Marilyn! The iris is beautiful.

Great banner Marilyn!

Beautiful banner Marilyn!

Sean's eye has captured an amazing feature of your beautiful Iris banner, Marilyn. I can see it clearly.

It is a excellent slice!

I agree; it's a beautiful phenomenon depicting a graceful bird in flight. In my eye the left and right falls are the wings; and the bottom fall illustrates the tail feathers.

I see it too! Great descriptions Sean and Leon!!

Terrific banner Marilyn! What a gorgeous iris.

Glad it wasn't just me. The bird imagery did add to the banner's enchantment.

Sean, I didn't even notice until you pointed it out. Great observation! It does look like a bird.

This is the full size pic of the banner.



Here's more pics I took of it.







I only grew it in 2010 and after the end of the season, dug up all my bearded irises and decided to plant other types of plants.

Sorry I'm so late responding. I'm happy you loved my banner, as much as, I did.

Thank you @plantmanager for the thumbsup.

Thank you everyone who gave thumbsup for my post that included my pics above.
