Description

Nikon 7900 pocket camera - hand held image. Well I am starting to feel guilty about taking time off from my house project but I did need the break. Anyway, I intend to resume that project in the morning. That means my postings will slow down for a while once again. I will not have time to take pics, edit pics, post pics or even look at pics, lol. This photo shows one of 4 basic color variations of the Irises I got from my Mom's garden about 14 years ago. I have white ones, yellow ones, purple ones and these. There used to be some that had almost brown shades as well, but they have not bloomed in a very long time so I suppose that variety died out. They are all pretty but this is my favorite of them all. Sadly, each bloom only lasts a few days but luckily, they put out numerous buds that open at different times, so there are new blooms for several weeks. Thanks to those who take the time to comment. Lee

Lee, I have all 5 of your irises as well as a soft baby blue that is a small flower on long graceful stalks and I also have a pastel blue that is nearly white with large flowers on sturdy stalks. :-) I just love the way they look and you are right-they only last a day or two but they produce up to 10 on each stalk. Oh, you have captured this one so brilliantly!
