Have a view of my daily photos or photos from my past. We all need to document the world around us visually. What I see is mostly what you get.

Bumble Bee........
In the commercial trade this is being sold as Bumble Bee. It is a very old strain of iris that grows wild in the Murray, Iowa cemetery. They mow it back around this time so the area doesn't look overtaken by it. I am having a poor showing of it this year in my yard so I will take shots everyday to assure visuals of those few that I do have. It is one of my favorites that I remember my Aunt Lois had at her house. She lived at the end of a dirt road in a very old house that had the old peonies and iris blooms. During Memorial Days she was always bringing them to the cemeteries in glass jars.

Wish I had more Iris-and a place to grow them. This one is lovely.
Very pretty
Lovely colours... I don't think I've ever seen this one before.
Sweet memories and such a gorgeous iris.
