I looked at that pink blossom on TODAY'S FLOWERS and thought it was a mandevilla vine! Silly me. Have a good Sunday. It is misty this Sunday morning here in VA.

Beautiful. I love the light on the Iris. I have the very same one in my garden, and should see it in flower in June. x

I never knew what that type of flower was called, like the spot of light in the middle.

Carver said...

Your iris are so lovely and I also love the rhododendron at your parents on the home page of Today's Flowers.

Beautiful photos! Both this iris and that rhododendron blossom on the home page are so lovely.

Pat said...

Lol..."Iris you a good morning."

I love the two-tone effect in your photo--just green and yellow...very striking!

Debbie said...

I love irises. They remind me of my grandmother:)

jabblog said...

Lovely iris - I'm never successful with them so love to see them in other gardens :-)
I liked your guest photo too - rhododendrons grow in abundance in this area (and are wild in the forest and considered a nuisance but I always like to see them)
I read about your beaver - no other beavers nearby?

What a lovely shot Sandy, it reminds me of God's promise...

Beautiful photo this one too.
The Rhododendron at Today's Flowers is amazing.

Misty Dawn said...

Really beautiful! The lighting and shadows makes this very artistic and moody.

Jenn Jilks said...

Groan! spring unfolds...as do the puns! My Muskoka iris are not ready, still they sleep.

San said...

Love the subtle lighting here. And I had to smile at the title of the post.

Sara Chapman in Seattle, USA said...

A beautiful flower here and on Today's Flower. I love the details of the tracery of the leaves on that photo.

Sandy, please accept my condolences on the loss of your friend, the beaver. That is heavy for you, and I am so sorry. I am sure she was beautiful!

Titania said...

Hi Sandy, I enjoyed both the Rhododendron and the Iris. Flowers are subtle it needs just a petal to see their beauty.

Shelle said...

very nice, you've caught the perfect moment.

i can't link up to my wordpress blog...so here's my link.

A Lady's Life said...

A mysterious iris lonely but not alone. Very nice :)

Pagan Sphinx said...

Iris: my favorite flower. I love the purple ones best, but yellow is not too shabby, either! :-)

Naturegirl said...

Sandy great photo as guest on TF homepage!I felt as though I could reach out and touch the flower!
Irises are so abundant right about now...love them in gardens but not in mine.
Although I do love the water iris.

Susan at Stony River said...

The light in that is just amazing. I love it!

Lui said...

Sandy, you captured a moment...and you brought us along. Tnx!

Pietro said...

Great image, Sandy. I enjoy it so much!

Lily Hydrangea said...

I've never seen yellow Irises before & you have photographed them beautifully!
Sorry I installed the wrong link in my entry for Today's Flowers the first time. The second ink is correct.

Lara Neusiedler said...

slommler said...

I love the Iris!! It is my favorite flower.

Greyscale Territory said...

A beautiful atmosphere in this photo with the hint of focal light on one flowering iris surrounded by shadow!

Ann said...

This is the season of the iris? It is so beautiful.

Renaissance said...

Beautiful.

Hilary said...

It looks so shy hiding near shadows.. about to come into its own.

Andrea said...

Hello Sandy, a very dramatic lighting on this photo. I am new here and am glad to meet you in Todays Flowers.

Regina said...

Congrats Sandy. Its really pretty.

Halcyon said...

I can't see the iris photo for some reason, but your rhodo was gorgeous. I never get tired of flowers!
