Sacred Goddess, Mother Earth,
Thou from whose immortal bosom
Gods and men and beasts have birth,
Leaf and blade, and bud and blossom,
Breathe thine influence most divine
On thine own child, Proserpine.
If with mists of evening dew
Thou dost nourish these young flowers
Till they grow in scent and hue
Fairest children of the Hours,
Breathe thine influence most divine
On thine own child, Proserpine.
>> Percy Bysshe Shelley <<

Borrowed Heaven
The Corrs
All beauty all fade away, borrowed
All moonlight return today, borrowed
All sunrise all shooting stars, borrowed
All earth bound bare feet in clay
you know we're standing on
Borrowed borrowed heaven
Borrowed borrowed heaven
All heartache all rivers cried, borrowed
Don't stay out too late tonight, borrowed
I love you don't wanna die, borrowed
You taste like paradise, I know I'm breathing in
Borrowed borrowed heaven
Borrowed borrowed heaven
Borrowed borrowed heaven
Borrowed borrowed heaven
You gave me life and I will give it back
But before I do, I'm gonna hold it tight
This is my prayer
All body, All skin all bone, borrowed
All silky, all smooth and warm, borrowed
All Pleasure, all pain are one, borrowed
Almighty I stand alone
I know I'm living in
Borrowed borrowed heaven
...

Bom domingo a todos !
The Iris told me if I don’t take more pictures of them they would not bloom next year, they don’t know it but I deleted all the other pictures.
- the splendid winter-flowering iris originally from North Africa.
This year it is in bloom earlier than usual !
Another old photo of Dad's iris and messing around with dual exposures. Thought this was a little interesting. But maybe not. Hope you're all having fun out there and thanks a lot for popping by and reading this :) xx
Since Iris is the Greek goddess for the Messenger of Love, her sacred flower is considered the symbol of communication and messages.
Therefore the flower iris in the language of flowers symbolises eloquence.
A purple iris is symbolic of wisdom and compliments.
A blue iris symbolises faith and hope.
A yellow iris symbolises passion while white iris symbolises purity.
As you can see, the gift of iris can be used to convey many emotions.
Dutch irises are hybrids of two older varieties, giving it a look all its own.
The distinctive ‘fleur-de-lis' flowers come in a variety of blues, yellows, purples, and white.
Organic, sensual, all about shape and colour.
The Iris is just born elegance... extremely ephemeral, they barely last a few days, yet with unbelievable beauty and style.
Best to leave them in the garden... like so many of the bulbs!
Wishing you a colourful day and thanx for commenting, always appreciated, M, (*_*)

I caught an iris that had opened up so I could shoot down the top, the bristle pollen is under the canopy of each of the three purple chutes, the bees come in and out of.
First Iris of the year. Showing evidence of the nice overnight rain that's continuing on today. Much welcome rain!
In botanica, il genere Iris raccoglie circa duecento specie di piante della famiglia delle Iridacee, il cui fiore è comunemente conosciuto anche con il nome di giaggiolo.
Il nome del genere deriva dalla parola greca Iris che significa arcobaleno.
Iris is a genus of 260 species of flowering plants with showy flowers. It takes its name from the Greek word for a rainbow, referring to the wide variety of flower colors found among the many species. As well as being the scientific name, iris is also very widely used as a common name; for one thing, it refers to all Iris species, though some plants called thus belong to other closely related genera. In North America, a common name for irises is 'flags', while the plants of the subgenus Scorpiris are widely known as 'junos', particularly in horticulture. It is a popular garden flower in the United States.
