Iris in Grecia, Iride a Roma: dea dell'arcobaleno e messaggera degli dei. Dotata di piedi veloci e di grandi ali era una messaggera degli dei. L'arcobaleno, di cui era la personificazione, era anche il sentiero che percorreva andando dal cielo alla terra.
Molti grandi pittori hanno lasciato delle bellissime raffigurazioni di fiori di Iris attraverso i secoli: fra i tanti riccordiamo: Luca Giordano; Leonardo da Vinci con la “Madonna delle Rocce”; Durer con la “Madonna con gli iris”; Van Gogh con “Les Iris” ; Monet, Guerin con “Iris et Morpheus”.
It's that time of the year. The irises are blooming at the Presby Iris Garden in Montclair, NJ. It is a most spectacular garden with thousands of varieties and colors. The garden is filled with nature and flower lovers, photographers, and artists all enjoying the elegance and beauty of these flowers.

Now those are not two words that you often hear together! This beauty is the only lovely lady who can pull off having a beard! A very happy weekend to you all! :)
Each time I see an iris, I am immediatly standing in the midst of my grandmother's iris' admiring how beautiful they were, almost as beautiful as she. We had great conversations as she weeded her beds of multi-colored iris', teaching me about life and her "secrets" to be successful. I have mixed emotions as I view this photograph knowing although she may not be with me physically, like the iris, her memories will be with me forever. I will always love you.
This continues my year-to-year set. Here is the set.

I'm still swamped with work and can't play on Flickr much. Thanks for bearing with me and still coming to visit even if I cannot.

In the same garden as I found the daffodils yesterday. I adore Irises, either miniature or the full sized ones.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)
