Yesterday, I showed you some of Sylvia’s roses.  Today, it is time for the iris to show her beauty.

Iris is sometimes a bit shy, but isn’t she lovely?

I particularly like the colors of this variety.

The yellow iris is particularly shy.  Perhaps she is trying to protect the precious moisture.  (Silly girl didn’t know it was going to rain today.)

Iris up close.  I hope she doesn’t mind.

Don’t you love the rich color of the Japanese iris?  This one is smaller and more delicate than the other varieties.  In case you are wondering, I only resized this shot.  The rich color is exactly what the camera (and my eyes) saw.

These are just some of the flowers that grace our surroundings here on Secondary Roads.  Beyond the flower gardens, more beauty abounds.  More about that soon.  I promise . . .
