Not sure how I missed your GORGEOUS flower shots!! This one is totally sublime. WOW! That BLUE!! I think it's an iris not a lily, though. A 5-star shot and absolutely spectacular, Bill! #2828128William Johnson May 29, 2006 0
Thank you for your lovely comments Nadya. Apologies to everyone for the wrong description, I did know it was an Iris, but for some reason called it a Lily !!! Bill J. #2828271

absolutely stunning - you got the vibrant colors down well. I'm an iris enthusiast (with 300 cultivars) and I'm thriving to find new ways to do iris (and plant) protraits that are a typical. Not as easy as one would think!~ Again, beautiful portrait! #3574288William Johnson November 11, 2006 0
