This flower, opening for the first time for me, provided a lovely setting for recent spider and butterfly shots. I think you will agree that it deserves a topic of its own. These flowers have considerable similarities to irises. However, the petals are held more upright, giving the flowers a slightly foreshortened view from the side .

These were taken in overcast daylight about and hour after prolonged rain ceased. In theory, this is classical lighting for flower photography. The stereos are crosseye.

EM-1, Kiron 105mm at f16, 1/100 & 1/125 second, hand-held.

    Thanks, Gents.

    I have developed quite a taste for hardy and half-hardy Cannas and gingers, and now have quite a few, several of which have yet to flower.
