Iris in Archeon

2009/04 - In my garden

Kensington Metro Park, MI

We stopped in Parkes today and walked down to the shops after setting up the van. Golden hour was very flattering to the spring gardens on the way

I believe this is an iris. The picture was taken at the Portland Japanese Garden.

It's been a long winter, but spring has arrived. My camera has been wonky, but it seems to be taking pictures anyhow. So maybe I can get back into taking pictures again.

I didn't see that interesting bit of orange until I looked @ my photo on the computer.

Happy Valentines Day Everyone!!

My spring pictures seem to be mainly irises, pansies and bluebonnets, but that is what I'm seeing the most. I will always love the iris because it is such a beautiful flower. This shot was taken midday so there was a lot of sun light, but the colors still show up well.

Iris 'Sikh' (Baker, 1926), Thanks, Jane!

I have no idea what these structures are. Anyone else know?

Some flowers just bring joy to the yard.

The Bearded Irises are now in bloom and have multiplied since I planted them. Their interesting coloring is certainly welcome on this sunny day (for a change).
