My strange brown Iris bud opened up today - the petals shine with an unearthly iridescence.
It has several more buds on the stalk, but the other stalks don't have any buds on them. At least the deer didn't eat it this year!
Talk about unearthly - a close-up of the inside of the flower looks like a fiery monster!

I love this iris! It's bud was beautiful, also! Such a beautiful color, I am glad that the deer spared it.
