Yellow iris. Picture taken with Canon Rebel XT (300D), EF-S 18-55mm lens @ 55mm, f/5.6, 1/125 sec, ISO 100.

Bud – first guess would be a tulip, but those come early and the leaves are not right. Picture taken with Canon Rebel XT (300D), EF-S 70-300mm lens @ 300mm, f/9.0, 1/125 sec, ISO 100.

Probably the coolest color combo flower in the garden.  Purple-red & yellow iris. Picture taken with Canon Rebel XT (300D), EF-S 18-55mm lens @ 41mm, f/5.0, 1/60 sec, ISO 100.
