I moved into my present house in the winter when the garden was as 'dead' as it could be. I could see that I had inherited many Iris plants, and that pleased me as they are one of my favourite flowers. What I hadn't expected was the range of varieties in the garden. Some with small flowers, many with regular size flowers, and one with giant flowers. And the colours range through bright yellows, cold blues, warm oranges, autumn colours and deep Indigo's.
That first summer I couldn't wait to get outside with my camera and as each bloom opened I was delighted to discover 16 different varieties. As a fairly useless, uninformed, wanna-be gardener I have no idea what the names of them are so I lump them all into one category ..... "Gorgeous".
It was obvious that I'd have to paint them at some point, and the one above is the first.
Oh this is simply gorgeous. I love all those gorgeous colors blended. I hope you are having a delightful February. Thanks for stopping by and leaving an encouraging comment. Take care and have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Debbie, and how lovely of you to come and visit. For many reasons I've been AWOL from my blog for far too long and am hoping to get back into it. Sadly, far too many of 'the old crowd' aren't blogging any more.
DeleteAmazing how many colours in one flower! Absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI know, many old blogfriends are not blogging anymore. I've been AWOL as well for a while. But it's good to see you back!
You're right the colours Judy. I'll post more Irises in the near future. And thank you for your visit, as always - it means a lot.
DeleteOh my goodness-what a gorgeous painting! Thank you for your blog visit and your compliment-it meant a lot to me.
