Iris

I don't remember the name of this particular Iris, but love it's rich, golden colors. With the lovely white streak going to the center of the petal, surrounding the orange beard, it delights me every year as it opens it's first flower.

I often forget about it, hiding in the verdant spring weeds, and then all of the sudden I see it glowing amongst the green one morning. It always brings a big smile to my face.

  1. It is a beauty, isn't it? I lost a lot of my iris in the last couple of years to some sort of fungus/rot disease. So delighted this beauty survived. :)
