Blue Iris

I found these blooming in my garden bed this weekend. I used to have several clumps of these, but the rest seem to have disappeared or else they are coming up slower than this clump of blue iris that happens to be in a very sunny portion of the garden.

I just love how delicate the petals look. Each petal is so thin, and fine, with shades of other colors within.

    That is a STUNNING photo. You must have a great camera . . . and I love how you faded the edges. Beautiful. I could look at it for hours.

    Absolutely lovely! You must be in a warmer climate than we are. I’m thinking about joining your Green Thumb Sunday but I’m not sure I’d have enough pics to participate all the time.

    Lovely photo! It’s gorgeous.

    You would LOVE the garden slideshows on the Better Homes & Gardens website. Such a nice distraction on this cloudy day here in D.C.:

    Reminds me of my parents yard when I was growing up. We had iris’, daffodils, lily of the valley, forsythia, pussy willows and lilacs. It was like growing up in a garden. It always smelled so good out in the backyard in the spring :)

    I love flowers and I love your photos. You inspire me to grow them but I’m afraid I can’t. My daughter once wrote in her school journal that I don’t have gardening skills. How right she is, lol.
