I have another photo of irises that is arguably better (one taken earlier that day in the San Francisco Botanical Garden — this is from the Japanese Tea Garden just across the road), but I happen to particularly like the way the sun comes down through the petals of the top flower in this one.

I've got three dwarf irises in full bloom and several budding

Also many crocuses, one (1) of which has buds where you can see the color. They're going to miss their hour of glory at this rate.
