I love irises.
Dietes grandiflora Fairy Iris, originally from South Africa, grows abundantly in the sunshine. Cities and companies like to use them en mass to decorate roadside flower beds. p
They produces lovely white blooms with 6 outer white petals as the base and then 3 central pale magenta tinged curved inner petals. The leaves bear the a bold central golden yellow stoke of color.
Walking along the Embarcadero in San Francisco, I stopped for a cold beer and on the table the had places a drinking glass with two of these flowers.

I really like the soft background with diagonal swathes of light dark bluish bands. However, the picture lacks unity. That means a little more of efforts at both cleqning up the image to simplify the b.g. and also adding a light linear set of strokes to fix the flowers to the fabric of the b.g. geometry.
