My yellow iris budded a few days ago, and I've been keeping an eye on it. (The purple has been blooming for a week now, but the yellow is one of my favourite flowers in the garden.) This morning the first flower had opened! The cheery yellow colour is so soft, and I love the subtle white lines on the falls. It's a treasured sight each year when it blooms.
"After all," Anne had said to Marilla once, "I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens, but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string."
- L.M. Montgomery, From Anne of Avonlea, Chapter XIX, Just a Happy Day
Beautiful Candis!! I love Irises, they are my very favorite flowers, and your picture is absolutely gorgeous :)
ReplyDeletethe previous comment was from me Jen, not Scott...lol
ReplyDeleteI love the way you've shot it -- it's what the sun would look if it was a flower.
ReplyDeleteHaha, no worries Jen! :D I've been loving your Bermuda photos. Looks like you're having a fantastic time.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great comment Andi. I like the thought of that.
What Andi said. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Erica - Andi has a way with words, doesn't she. :-)
ReplyDeleteSo delicate it almost appears to be made out of paper. Iris, one of my moms favorite flowers.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely exquisite, Candis. Like ruffled silk. And that quote is one of the best. Love LMM's words.
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a beautiful weekend! xoxo
