This Iris is not real. I made it from white clay and painted with oil colors. I have 3 of them in my office as a decoration. Several days ago, the sunshine came through the window and made these irises look so magnificent. That why I have this picture.
The detail is not neat enough, so I used soft focus to cover the defect. :-))
Thank you very much for your comments my dear friends! :-))

Thank you very much for your visits and comments.
Best regards.
Looks can be deceiving, as this tiny flower is but a few centimetres in size. Apparently it only lives a few days.

Isn't God a great artist? Thank you for looking.
Iris Bloom ...... Wisdom

She never searched for the loudest voice.
She discovered that wisdom often arrives in silence, carried gently by time, patience, and the courage to truly see.
Framed by velvet petals touched with gold, she reminds us that the deepest beauty is not found in what we know, but in how gently we choose to understand one another.
Some souls do not shine because they seek the light.
They shine because they have learned how to carry it.
"Wisdom is the quiet light that never asks to be seen."

Iris blooming in my neightbours backyard. My lack of knowledge of flowers is evident as I originally mislabeled this as a Crocus.
An image of drama...

I just brought this pot-bound old Iris up to the side of the porch. It was abandoned out back in the "nursery" area of unplanted plants, etc. All of a sudden, oh my, 4 or 5 blossoms every day and they are not just one-timers. They bloom over and over each day. Trying to take a little better care of it. What a beauty! Blessed that I didn't kill it through these awful 3+ years.
PS: I looked and looked for further description of species. I think it might be Alophia drummondii.
