While visiting Fairbanks Alaska I captured these Iris. In processing I used 5 different exposures to create an HDR then digitally painted it using an acrylic brush. The Alaskan wild iris grow in meadows, bogs and long the edges of waterways. They can grow up to 2 feet tall and have swordlike leaves. The flowers grow on sturdy stocks and can be blue, purple, violet, and occasionally white. Wild Iris adapt well to the garden, but may need to be divided every few years.
Wild Iris may be started from stratified seed, but it takes years for them to develop in size. Division is the easiest and most expeditious method.
