As a relatively new resident of Middle Tennessee, I enjoy photographing the beauty around me on a daily basis.

Southern Blue Flag (Iris virginica L.)
This gorgeous perennial forms dense colonies in open swampy woods and marshes. The blue-violet to purple flowers are 2.4 to 3.2" wide and have a bright yellow patch at the base of the oblong-ovate sepals. Bloom time in June.
