The iris was one of my mother's favorite flowers, and it is also one of mine.
These yellow ones came from her garden, transplanted rhizomes that I nurtured. They continue to bloom annually as they have for almost 30 years now. I always feel peaceful when I look at the iris.
Just looking at the photos made me feel peaceful too. The soft yellow of it's petals is the perfect yellow.
ReplyDeleteLove the yellow iris!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of bringing a plant from your mother's garden. Then every spring you can see it bloom and think happy thoughts of her. Do you suppose I could go to our old house in California and ask to dig up an Iris? My parents had scads of the purple kind.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!! I don't know much about flower but they look like orchid
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! The iris in front of my building have really shot up this week, with tons of buds on the verge of opening. Can't wait! ☺
ReplyDeleteThat last shot is my favorite!
