Description

I shot this photo yesterday in Edwards Gardens here in Toronto. Until yesterday's visit to Edwards Gardens, I hadn't seen a single flower of any kind yet this spring, so it was a delight to see these beauties (which I assume are a form of very low lying iris (these are only about 3 to 4 inches tall, as well as some snow drops and crocuses.
Because the background consisted of ugly dead leaves and mulch, I turned the background black in PS and a dded a border from OnOne.
