Purple Passion by grammyn

Purple Passion

My neighbor asked me if I wanted some irises last year. I said sure. We had lots of irises in our garden as I was growing up and as I got older I decided I didn't like them for some reason! I have come full circle on that and now marvel at their beautiful symmetry. This is one of the ones my neighbor gave me.
Oh, katy! This is ust an instant FAVE for me. Absolutely gorgeous.

It is beautiful, and I love the POV. How come yours are blooming and most of ours are not??
March 29th, 2013  
@eudora Thank you so much! Ummm neglect?! I have no idea! I must confess I was a little surprised to see these blooming already and I have another bunch that is already done! I thought they bloomed a little later too.

What a beautiful shot, Katy. Love the detail and colors. We sure have all learned a lot being on 365 and appreciate the beauty in so many things that we took for granted before. We are definitely blooming here but I have no flowers in my yard. I also have to catch up. I have a photo of a bud from a few weeks ago. Have no idea where I took it.

@darsphotos Thanks, Darlene. You are right about how much more we notice since 365.
