ALL IMAGES ARE BEST seen On Black, yours too....

Sacre bleu is an old French profanity, meant as a cry of surprise or anger.

I don't talk to flowers, they talk to me and I gladly listen, with my eyes!

A beautiful Blue Iris, just awakening and unfurling and being hit by light!!! Sacrebleu, it SCREAMED!!!

Irises can be very showy.

Hope this makes you smile again, have a good day and thank you for your visit, so very much appreciated, Magda, (*_*)

Couches très fines de nuages à proximité dans le ciel du soleil, les gouttes d'eau des nuages provoquent un phénomène de diffraction de la lumière générant des colorations assez vives.

An unexpected delight, very fragrant and an enchanting shade of purple, a touch of spring. (Nothing like any of the three pale and interesting Irises I ordered, but no less lovely for that...)
