This is what Roundup drift can do to an iris. The overexuberant use of Roundup in the pathway adjoining this flower bed caused some of the spray to drift over to one of the irises. The one in back is what the iris is supposed to look like. The gimpy striped one in front is the Roundup victim. I think it's quite charming. I suppose the healthy one is better looking in general, but I have a whole bed of those, so this one's at least unique if not gorgeous.

It actually was prettier when it was fully open, but I didn't get outside with the camera until it was half-spent.
