Isn’t this Iris gorgeous? As it unfurls, it progresses from deep black purple (like the buds below it) to this cranberry maroon. A gift from a friend, we planted it years ago. Each year, it slips back up, according to its inner rhythms, dazzles us in a crescendo of form and color, then slips away. I’m certain the word is used too casually, too often, but this natural, unattended beauty is awesome.
Thanks for listening yesterday.

I always find a potter around the garden soothes the nerves, unless like me, you have 6 bags of bark chips to spread... hey ho, me and the garden will benefit from it, I'm sure ;o)
Hey Roo-
You're right. Especially if there's a bit of a breeze. And if the screens on the front porch are all tight, it's the perfect place to enjoy the view afterwards!

With all of these awesome nature, flower etc. photos, I have to ask if you and Chuck have watched any of the Planet Earth series? I absolutely love it. If you haven't checked it out, its really interesting, and visually stunning.--KRL
gorgeous!
Hey Kate-
Thanks for the compliment! No we're not familiar with the Planet Earth Series. But we're off to Google it now. Thanks for the tip!
