What are the best collections to use with FLOWERS? I get asked this question frequently, and after stumbling on ten beautiful blooming Irises yesterday in my yard, I decided to finally figure out the answer! Flowers are not my normal subject matter. Of course, when I see a pretty one, I always take a photo or two, but I'm mainly a wildlife photographer and am focused on subjects with fur and feathers rather than petals when it comes to my photo art. I couldn't pass up this opportunity when I saw these Irises, however, so a new project was born -- let's explore all of the collections and see what are the best choices to use with flowers one might casually photograph outdoors during the spring season.
