Wild Iris, Kennebunk Bridle Path, Kennebunk ME

Our late spring means that the Wild Iris, normally blooming the first of June, is, most places it grows, just stands of spear-like leaves this week. I did find this one specimen in a particularly sunny spot along the Bridle Path in Kennebunk. There is nothing quite so intense as purple, and no purple more intense than that of the Wild Iris in the sun. The contrasting white and yellow, and the pit of pattern in the white, just make the purple more purple. 🙂 It is all together a beautiful flower.
