This is a bearded iris growing in the Canadian WWII cemetery in Bény-sur-Mer. The cemetery is near Juno Beach, about ten miles north of Caen in Normandy. The stark background of the flower is not due to any kind of photoshopping. It was growing against a white gravestone, and in the sunlight it was bright enough to appear completely featureless.
Gorgeous.
Amazing colors! I've always liked irises -- just wish they lasted longer than they do.
Interesting!
Very nice.
You are Van Gogh with a camera.
Excellent photo!
