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.
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?
Exquisite flower and capture, Sandy! What a great reminder of the beauty that is all around us is we take the time to open our eyes and look. Hope you have beautiful day!
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.
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.

Beautiful photo this one too.
ReplyDeleteThe Rhododendron at Today's Flowers is amazing.
Really beautiful! The lighting and shadows makes this very artistic and moody.
ReplyDeleteGroan! spring unfolds...as do the puns! My Muskoka iris are not ready, still they sleep.
ReplyDeleteLove the subtle lighting here. And I had to smile at the title of the post.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful flower here and on Today's Flower. I love the details of the tracery of the leaves on that photo.
ReplyDeleteSandy, 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!
Hi Sandy, I enjoyed both the Rhododendron and the Iris. Flowers are subtle it needs just a petal to see their beauty.
ReplyDeletevery nice, you've caught the perfect moment.
ReplyDeletei can't link up to my wordpress blog...so here's my link.
A mysterious iris lonely but not alone. Very nice :)
ReplyDeleteIris: my favorite flower. I love the purple ones best, but yellow is not too shabby, either! :-)
ReplyDeleteSandy great photo as guest on TF homepage!I felt as though I could reach out and touch the flower!
ReplyDeleteIrises are so abundant right about now...love them in gardens but not in mine.

The light in that is just amazing. I love it!
ReplyDeleteSandy, you captured a moment...and you brought us along. Tnx!

A beautiful atmosphere in this photo with the hint of focal light on one flowering iris surrounded by shadow!
ReplyDeleteThis is the season of the iris? It is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so shy hiding near shadows.. about to come into its own.
ReplyDeleteHello Sandy, a very dramatic lighting on this photo. I am new here and am glad to meet you in Todays Flowers.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Sandy. Its really pretty.
ReplyDeleteI can't see the iris photo for some reason, but your rhodo was gorgeous. I never get tired of flowers!
