Still, we are so happy with our own iris! I used the May recipe challenge at MScraps to get me away from the rut I seem to have settled into this month. The recipe begins with two papers NOT in neutral colors, so that was good. Now, Helen, here it is in the very first bloom.

How gorgeous! It looks like some huge exotic frilly butterfly. No wonder you were looking forward to seeing it bloom. It just jumps off the page against the green and the splashes of white surrounding it both in the photo and on the page.
ReplyDeleteOh Wow! How beautiful! Love the flower and your page! Great job! Fantastic way to show off your new Iris!
ReplyDeleteWow...this page is a real eye-catcher! Gorgeous iris and love the contrast of the deep purple and bright green! I so far have had only two irises to bloom though it's my fault as I failed to water them. Send me some of your rain! Maybe I'll get some more blooms before the grasshoppers eat them. Noticed this morning that the grasshoppers have eaten most of my tiger lilies buds...so I may not have any blooms from them either!
