Iris Germanica

I was looking through photos of my storm chasing trip down to the USA this past spring and found this photo of some Bearded Iris wildflowers. We were waiting for storms to initiate in an upslope flow environment in the Nebraska panhandle at a truckstop in the town of Sidney, when I found these along a bank with the Nebraska plains in the foreground on June 1st, 2008. The upslope flow eventually payed off, and we were treated to a beautifully structured Supercell.
