Photo: Beachhead Iris Flower Picture

This picture taken at the Burnt Cape Ecological Reserve in Newfoundland, Canada displays the unique designs that adorn the flower petals on the Beachhead Iris.

The Burnt Cape Ecological Reserve in Newfoundland Labrador in Canada is a great location to visit where you can view and capture a picture or two of the Beachhead Iris while in full bloom. The flower displays petals that have intriguing lines or veins adorning them and the center of the flower has both female and male organs.

For growing purposes, the Beachhead Iris prefers light and loves to flourish in wet meadows, along the sides of rivers or out in the open forests. A flower that blooms around the month of June prominently displays three large bluish purple colored petals. The seeds are perfectly ripened in August and are then pollinated by the insects.

The leaves that surround the Beachhead Iris are a bright shade of green and are fairly tall and slim with pointed tips. The stem protrudes from the center of a group of leaves growing straight up with the flower opening atop at around twenty-four inches in height. ... continue below the picture...
