In this original lithograph, Susan Headley van Campen depicts a display of flowering bearded irises in various shades of soft purple and violet. These spring flowers are hardy and vigorous perennials, considered by some to be among the most elegant and the easiest to grow. They are a bulb plant that blooms in mid-May to June and can grow as tall as 30 inches. The plant produces sword like flat leaves and showy flowers that come in a variety of colors such as pink, red, yellow, blue, and purple. |
