Description
This is a top view of an Iris petal
The yellow beard looks like a water fountain (or exploding geyser)
The arching pattern behind it enhances the sensation.
The petal or "fall" is a landing platform for pollinators.
The stripes or "signal" attracts the insects.
The beard directs them towards the nectar source.
