Photograph of a pale purple iris flower (likely a native blue flag variety) at the top of a stiff, slender green stem with out of focus green foliage in the background. This variety of iris has three pale purple upper petals called standards and three pale purple lower petals called falls. On each fall there are signal or "beard" that extends from center of the flower to the top of the fall. For this variety the beard is a bright orange-yellow.
