Tradescantia 'Iris Pritchard'

By crabbo_1

This is a Tradescantia taken in the garden...first one out as far as I am aware. Taken using a 105mm sigma lens and tripod.
The flower is an 'Iris Pritchard' variety giving it the bearded centre.

The beard is not very complimentary to Iris Pritchard.
Still, good detail on the beard. f2.8 will give very tight DOF, have you tried f11 ish, it works well for my flower images.
Hope this helps and also that Iris gets over the beard.
