Alvin Jeng (LightBuckets.com) gave me permission to post his picture of A Dusty Iris Nebula:
Here is part of the APOD explanation:
"These clouds of interstellar dust and gas have blossomed 1,300 light-years away in the fertile star fields of the constellation Cepheus. Sometimes called the Iris Nebula and dutifully cataloged as NGC 7023, this is not the only nebula in the sky to evoke the imagery of flowers."
