Rained Upon Iris - Update

She looked pretty good this morning. Breezes seemed to help dry out.
And there are three buds coming up beside her.

But it's been raining since, on and off.
She looked like this, this afternoon.

These are also growing alongside the porch.

I find iris a bit hard to shoot. And to find good specimens to do so. Maybe I should grow a couple of plants when we can use our balcony.
