Gladiolus are simple radiant right now. My phone's camera cannot compute the depth and beauty of the red color in these flowers.

🌈 Iris = Greek for rainbow! 🌈

My mother grew masses of bearded iris but I prefer these wild, beardless iris growing in exuberant clumps.

According to US Forest Service, unlike most flowering plants, iris has a superpower: both leaf surfaces of the iris can absorb light to provide the energy to photosynthesize and produce food for the plant that is stored in its rhizomes.
