Iris germanica | \u00a92013 David Allio<\/p><\/div>\n

What is the most popular Mother’s Day gift?<\/p>\n

Flowers, of course!<\/p>\n

My mother really likes Iris germanica<\/i>. She has a literal rainbow in her Virginia flower garden. Every year she shares root stock in order for me to grow new colors. Now, thanks to her, my flower garden is lush with purples, blues, yellows, and whites.<\/p>\n

In Symbolism: A Comprehensive Dictionary<\/i> an art reference book by Steven Olderr, the flower Iris represents hope, light, purity, power, royalty, and eloquence. All seem appropriate for a symbolic Mother’s day gift.<\/p>\n

Although botanically an Iris is a perfect<\/i> flower, the natural growth of the biomorphic shape visually deny a cliche balance. So, the personal creative challenge is to present the three petals, trichrome yellow bearded sepals, and three dimensions in a photographic plane. The result is this natural light subjective presentation of flower photography.<\/p>\n

Happy Mother’s Day!<\/p>\n
