Here are some Irises that i photographed a few days ago. Taken with a Canon Rebel Xsi body and 70-200mm f/4L IS USM lens.

I'm so jealous - irises out already? We are still waiting for the tulips to open!

Great pictures, I especially like the first one.

Thanks for sharing your pics of irises. They are one of my favourites!

I'm really missing the outdoor garden...I've been living in a condo for about 3 years now. I still remember the scent of an iris though...boy, do I miss that!

Our irises start blooming in mid-march and finish blooming about now.

Great photography and beautiful flowers. My tall-beared irises won't bloom until May, and the wild ones start only a few weeks before them. Ah, well. Every place has it's own advantages and beauties.
