In my yard, the daffodils have come and are now long gone. California Poppies are taking their place. Bearded Iris are having their brief moment. I doubt this bloom will last more than a day in this week’s heat. What a marvel.

I know! What a surprise. This bloom is so intricate and surprising, it’s like it’s own little country.

Gorgeous colors! Such a soft lavender on the standards and crystalline spun sugar on the falls. We love our iris! It is too bad its season is so short.

It does look like one of those sugar candy flowers, doesn’t it? There’s another iris-like flower (Siberian Iris) by my little pond, but that one seems to bloom all year long, or close to it. But is doesn’t compare to the lovely specimen here.

My library had several of these irises still in pretty good shape. Couldn’t get a good shot given the lighting (or lack of skill on my part). They are certainly impressive and beautiful. You managed a good image of what I discovered was a lot harder to catch than I imagined.

Truth is, I had to crawl in the gravel path to get this. Worse than that, I had to get up after I’d shot the pictures. Ouch.

So delicate and rich, like fine fabric.

Thank you Sue. A fabric like this would be so expensive. But for this, just add water.

A beautiful Iris to be sure even if the beauty only lasts a short time in the heat of the day

it gives me such a sense of hope- so beautiful, yet so fleeting, and somehow that feels right.
