What a lovely iris! Is it outdoors? The pic has a somewhat indoor or nighttime look..(I'm well practiced at those conditions...lol)

Yes, it's outside in the porch open to the air! The reason why it was taken after dark with a flash was that it opened this afternoon, I took its photo, and when I looked at it, it was crooked. So off I went back out in the dark and took it again! Actually, I took five photos and chose the best one. LOL.
