Front Yard Late Season Color
Front Yard Late Season Color
Originally uploaded by sunspotting.
The day is a very gray one. But our yard is bursting with color! I am astonished that we have three different colors of iris blooming at this time of year.
In May we have eye-poppingly different colors of iris, in both the front and back. We expected the bright yellow, as my mother-in-law Sandy gave us some rhizomes of twice-blooming irises in that color a few years ago. But the pale blue (around the edges; in the diffused light it is coming off as just white) and pale yellow are completely unexpected.
And look!! There are still buds! How delightful!!!
THIS, after we had snow on Tuesday. Not that the snow lasted, and the snow was only on the east side of town. No one I talked to at the hospital had snow on their side of the river. It never lasts, this time of year. But still! This is a spring flower. And by all the signs, we should be expecting more blossoms.
Reasons to smile!!! Yet more delight!

It's amazing to see flowers still in bloom. Up here in Canada we have snow!
Omigoodness, I am sending you warm thoughts right now. This is why I am sharing them, I knew there would be others who would appreciate and enjoy them! We are in Cleveland, just across the lake from Canada. Thank you for reading!
