Louisiana iris


I needed a smile in my life, yesterday. This guy was trailside, waving at me in the swamp. I wondered whether it was native there or someone transplanted it; figure it must be a Louisiana iris, but I'm mostly ignorant about such things. Lately, my flower pictures are often blurred. I hate to start dragging a tripod; maybe it is more the wind than me... must study this situation some more.

Hello, Bud. That looks like Iris fulva to me, one of the five Louisiana iris species. Compare it to the pictures on the fulva page on my website:
