A #photograph of a #purple and yellow-streaked #iris #flower at the #SwanLake Iris #Garden in #Sumter #SouthCarolina.
The Swan Lake Iris Garden was started by a businessman interested in #Japaneseirises, however, their #bulbs failed to thrive. Frustrated, the owner of the 30 acre #estate ordered the bulbs thrown in a #swamp on the property.
All exploded into flower the next year.
The garden was given to the city in 1949, which keeps it up to this day.
