After the rain Print

Irises are one of my favorite flowers. I love them for the variety of colors, shades, their combinations in one flower, for the petals of an incredible, varied shape, fragility and tenderness. And some also for the smell. These flowers grow on all continents. There are more than 800 types of them. A lot of interesting things are connected with this plant in religion and history. In Christianity, flowers symbolize the purity and sorrow of the Virgin Mary. In Europe, these flowers were used to represent royalty. The lilac shade in many countries was a symbol of the highest ranks of the state. There are a variety of petals in beauty and shade, but there are no purely scarlet ones, since the plant lacks the gene responsible for such a tone. But such a flower is depicted on a white background of the flag of Florence and has been a symbol for over 750 years. In the US state of Tennessee, iris is the state flower and symbol. In the city of Knoxville, the festival of these plants is held annually and guests can see the luxurious and varied compositions of iris. The picture was made in the technique "Embossed surface" developed by me from decorative plaster. The flower petals and leaves made using this technique are thin but strong. Flowers made from this material are durable and do not require special care. They will not wither, dry out or lose their color, because are covered with protective varnish. Framed and ready to hang.
