Iris, the flower symbol of Florence

Caught it just as the sunset was filtering through the trees.

Do you remember?

The beautiful curves, colours and texture of an Iris in our garden near sunset.

Worth viewing large!

I particularly like the shape and colour of the 'lips' in the centre (note 1), the delicate, slightly out-of-focus pattern on the petal (2), the 'hairs' (I've forgotten what they're called!) at the back (3) and the bud of a new flower peeking out from behind the front petal (4)

Taken at Argyle Acres on 04-26-08. I'll try to add the variety as I have time.

A great iris because it does not need staking and stays nice and compact.

My pond is looking better and better each day. Today this Blue Flag Iris opened up in my bog and is definitely a highlight. I also moved some daylilies to the edge of my pond, which gives it more of a natural feel. Soon I will be able to add a waterfall and finish hiding the liner. Lily Pads have been growing nicely, up to twenty new pads in the past week. Soon it will be filled in nicely.

I am still waiting for frogs to come. Eventually they will find it, but the sooner, the better!

Spring!

Iris in the Garden.

This blue bearded iris used to grow in a front yard along my walk to the bus stop. For years I admired it each spring and wished I had the nerve to snag just one offshoot to take home. I never met the home owners or I would have asked. Then one day there was a big dumpster and a crew of workers scraping the ground bare! I asked if I might pull some plants out of their piles. They said no, probably liability concerns. I was heartbroken. On the way home from the bus stop that evening, the dumpster was still there, full. I thought the iris would be buried under yards of sod but when I looked in, there they were, neatly stacked in a corner right on top. Im certain one of the workers must have overheard my request and secretly stashed them there for me.

That was years ago. Since then these have multiplied and bloomed magnificently.

I really love the color of these. They're amazing.
