my favourite flower - I planted the bulbs a couple of years ago and have not been home to see them flower

Finally I see the results of my labour and I have been rewarded with loads of flowers all over the garden. This morning the early sunlight was shining through this flower and prompted me to grab my camera and wander around my garden in my pyjamas

Wonderful.....especially the wandering around the garden in your jarmies. I indulge regularly. :)

Is this a filler shot? Irises usually bloom in spring. Just wondering. Beautiful capture whatever the case.

@lbmcshutter As long as it wasn't anything rude or revealing xD Even though you're not on the island now you may still have island fever...

How lovely to come home and find these glorious spring blooms in your garden... wonderful. I shall so enjoy watching the seasons through the lenses on 365 while we're hibernating along with our flowers and foliage in chilly England!
