This is a neat gallery of irises. I wish the artist had some commentary on where the models came from. I took high resolution pictures of my own iris several years ago (sorry, not going to post them here, just in case irises become a financial biometric in the future) and found them to be very uniform in color. Most of these have various splashes of odd color in them and I wonder how typical that is. I haven't noticed it much in people before, except that Palindrome has an eyecatching copperish splash of color in one eye. (Okay, that's my contribution to creepy eye contact for the day.)
