The Iris bloom I used as a reference for this image was drawn from one of my grandmother's bulbs, which their rhizomes are older than I am and were passed down to me by my aunt Sallie. The composition celebrates the delicate balance butterflies embark upon while landing to drink nectar from a flower.
