The Geometry of Irises



Your sensuous symmetry!

The outrageous miracle of one huge purple black iris amongst the grasses would be aweinspiring, would bring hikers from afar to gaze at you. But cloned, you pop up here! here! and there's one over there! Look! I see a clump of them, over further!

Each wild iris is a work of delicate and flouncy imagination, a designer's flight of fancy, a spilling of the palette, a living breathing Mandelbrot equation flowering into purple mystery. And to spot them here and there in the fields is a delight to the irises of my eye.
