I did two versions of this one.  The first was done border-less, with a larger TTW effect but although acceptable, there was some slight contrast ghosting on the dark flower petal.  I then did this one, with less TTW effect to reduce deviation and further decreased deviation by adding the 3D border while still keeping some of the TTW effect.

Bearded rhizomatous irises

The most commonly found garden iris is the bearded German Iris (I. germanica) and its numerous cultivars. Various wild forms and naturally occurring hybrids of the Sweet iris (I. pallida) and the Hungarian iris ( I. variegata) form the basis of almost all modern hybrid bearded irises. Median forms of bearded iris (intermediate bearded, or IB; miniature tall bearded, or MTB; etc.) are derived from crosses between tall and dwarf varieties. The bearded irises are easy to cultivate and propagate, and have become very popular in gardens. A small selection is usually held by garden centers at appropriate times during the season, but there are thousands of cultivars available from specialist suppliers. They are best planted as bare root plants in late summer, in a sunny open position with the rhizome visible on the surface of the soil and facing the sun. They should be divided in summer every two or three years, when the clumps become congested.
