Clumps of Glories of the snow dot my small backyard garden. I have white ones, blue ones and even pink! I do think the blue Glories of the snow are my favorite. The color of the flower looks so nice against the dark green of the plants leaves.
Macro of a dwarf iris
Here’s a close up of a Danfordia iris. I love these delicate little flowers.
The detail on the underside and deep within the petal is lovely. The vibrant yellow and white pattern in each petal is amazing isn’t it?
Beautiful, but short lived Irises
These are my favorite irises. They are called Danfordia irises and they are dwarf irises. I love their vibrant color, but hate that they only seem to bloom here for just a few days. Perhaps it’s because even though they bloom in early spring we’re usually warming up fast here in Toronto just as they begin to bloom … if it were colder I’m sure they’d last longer. Oh well … then I’d be complaining that Spring was too cold … can’t have it both ways, now can I?
Hyacinths in the garden
A few days ago I posted a photo of a single hyacinth, if you read the post you might remember me discussing how my “purple” hyacinths seems to have different shades of color ranging from blue to deep purple in different lights … well this picture is a good example of that range of color.
Have you ever noticed the range of colors within a tiny hyacinth bloom?
