Wild Iris, Fennel Brook Pond #2, Kennebunk Maine

Further inland the Wild Iris are well out, in roadside ditches, and in wet fields, but here along the coast they are just beginning to bloom. I have been watching this clump for several days. It is by the spillway from one of my favorite ponds along Rt. 9 near our home. Iris are always beautiful, and here, the dark background of the water behind sets off the flower to perfection.
