Dwarf Iris is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful wildflowers of the Gulf Coast. And while it is not rare, it is rarely seen. Its' season of bloom is short, and it typically flowers semi-concealed among taller plants. The first four photos were taken near Rabbit Creek, in South Mobile County, Alabama, in early April. The last four were taken near Wiggins Lane, in West Mobile County, in mid March. |
