Ember Ruffles, Orange Bearded Iris

A close-up of a single orange bearded iris with ruffled, crinkled petals. The flower sits in front of a soft, blurred background of olive green, yellow and a hazy grey-blue sky. The whole image has a subtle painted texture.

A warm, glowing orange iris, shown close enough that the crinkled veining and ruffled edges can be seen. It sits against a soft green, yellow and grey-blue blur, and a fine painterly texture across the whole surface gives it the feel of an oil painting. Most orange flower prints are either flat and bright or very formal. This one has depth, soft light and a hand-finished look, so it suits someone who wants a colourful floral that reads as a considered picture rather than a generic flower print.
