Synchronicity! Eight or so years ago (maybe more) I planted bearded iris bulbs in this exact color at The Holler. They never bloomed. Until now. I took photos of them yesterday, but haven’t looked at them yet.
Hi Cindy. That’s interesting. We got these Iris from the local Iris society when they had one of their fundraising sales some years ago. Ours bloom every year, but some of the Iris where this one is were disturbed a couple of weeks ago by a Comcast crew burying cable. Some of the iris that were disturbed started to bloom and then didn’t bloom. This copper Iris started not to bloom, but I gave it extra water and it recovered.
Hi Charlotte. Purple are a standard color for iris. Whe have purple, white, blue, red, pink, cream and black iris. The black iris end up dark purple because of the intense sunshine at our altitude.

That is a gorgeous iris, Tim. They are a very textured flower.
Thanks, Lavinia. We have some iris with very intersting colors.
Magnificent Timothy.
Thanks, Gabriela.

The color contrast red-green is very nice 🙂
Thanks, Harry.
Beautiful with extraordinary colours and dynamic like the swirl of a flamenco dress.
Thanks, Puzzleblume. I was thinking of canyons, but the flowing edges of flamenco skirts is a great description.
This is the first time I saw an iris this color!
Thanks, Nancy. It’s an great color.
Stunning colours and textures.
Thanks, Couriers.
Oh, beautiful! My favorite flower.
Thanks, Laurie.
Copper Iris…. not an easy flower to photograph, but you did it beautifully! 🙂
Thanks, Marina.

Iris are usually purple I think at home.

Such a different color. 🙂
It is different and a great color. Thanks, David.
Now this is just silly gorgeous! I saw some tulips a few days ago.
Just sent the Peach Tree to Dale! I’m so excited that there are now 4 magic trees!
It is a gorgeous color. Dale just commented on copper iris and we are now following each other. Your Johnny cat is adorable. Thanks, Resa.
Yes… Johnny! You need any fur?
No we have plenty of fur around here. So much so, I name the dust bunnies.
Okay!
I’ll see if anyone else might want one.
Larry?… Dust Bunny Larry? He went missing a few years ago.
Larry probably put on a leisure suit and went off to the land of the lounge lizards.
What a stunning colour for an iris! You have captured her beauty well.
And may I say thank you for the Peach Tree? I am beyond chuffed that I have one now (I’m still in awd of being included in Resa’s models)
Thank you, Dale. You are welcome and well deserving of the peach tree, and of being an Art Gown model.
Aww shucks, Tim. That is so sweet to say!
I love peaches!!
Wow!
Thanks, Inchcock.
💛🌷we’re still in the dirt phase…these are amazing flora colours. Have a creative day Timothy ~ smiles Hedy ☺️
Thanks, Hedy.
What an extraordinary color. Irises are probably my favorite flower. Hugs on the wing.
Thanks, Teagan. Iris are not my favorite, but they do make really good subjects for photos.
So very delicate and absolutely gorgeous! Wonderful shots Tim .. 🙂
Thanks, Julie.
Ohhh, Iris is absolutely a gorgeous flower! Thanks for sharing these wonderful photos – made my day brighter!
Thanks, Leif.
