New Iris with jumping spider

First year growing this iris. I don't know the name, but it stood out, and was happy to see a little jumping spider.

Great banner, Cal.

Thank you so much for your positive comments.

Here is the original (looks like it was mirrored for the banner, which is better)

And a 2000x1120 for anyone who would like to see it full screen or as a background.

and

for another wonderful banner, Cal.

It would seem that the Iris stood out to someone else. My DW love those little jumping spiders. The fuzzier and with big eyes, all the more better.
