'Complexity and elegance of the Iris flower' (Looking inside a Bearded Iris III). Ph. by #WhiteANGEL

This variety of Iris flowers have upright petals called "standards" and cascading petals called "falls". Running down the center of each fall is a “beard” that resembles a flame or even a furry caterpillar.
Besides the 3 sort of beards, I find very interesting & peculiar the zebra patterns & the texture of the petals, especially the 3 'falls' ones, looking like leather or even shantung silk. The bright yellow petals in the very centre reassemble golden tongues or, again, vivid flames of a flickering candle. Each of those inner petals -actually lobes- hosts and protects a single stamen.

Colours are yellow, some orange, a wine coloured optical animalier pattern, similar to zebra & lots of brown/burgundy tones.
Super Macro photographed out-door in natural light (with my Fujinon 24/624 'telescopic' + hyper Macro lens).
I hope I could render its intricated details. More in my Album in progress 'Callas, Iris & Amaryllis studies'
