Bearded irises don't grow from bulbs (a popular misconception), but from large fleshy roots called rhizomes. In days gone by, gardeners often called them "German irises," despite the fact that they're not native to Germany, but the Mediterranean region. Modern selections are so heavily hybridized there's no telling where the genes came from, so we just call them "bearded irises" and leave it at that.

Thank you for visiting our site. We have been married 58 years and are long time partners in our art as well as life. Most of the beautiful floral and butterfly images are from Carol's camera while most of the rest are from David's. The making of a photographic image requires more than the click of a shutter.In the days of film photography we spent many hours in the chemical darkroom to make the negative more than just a "picture". The current digital darkroom allows far more control and artistic development for the original digital file to come to life as art.You will find in our galleries realistic presentations, simulated paintings and outright digital abstracts. We thank you very much for taking the time to look at our images.
