[Leica] Testing a new lens

[douglas.sharp at gmx.de (Douglas Sharp)]

Hello Chris , I think you'll find it's a Yellow Flag (or Golden) Iris, 
the Marsh Orchid is pink-purple and has a flower made up of many 
flowerlets and more or less shaped like a bottle brush - excellent shot 
though.Strangely enough , the Marsh Orchid hardly ever seems to grow  in 
marshes, most of the ones I've seen were growing on the embankments of 
disused railways in Northumberland  - though perhaps they were Common 
Spotted Orchids - I find it  hard to tell them apart :-)
Cheers
Douglas
