"The Not At All Tragic Story

Later in the day,

It Must Be Iris!
When The Story Turns
Almost Tragic, After All
Is there aLily in the picture or an Iris?
I see this
and think
"Fleur-de-lis!"
and translate
"Lily!" -
cowabanga!
I feel as if I am sitting
in the middle of a stinging nettle
patch, Lilies or Iris laughing out loud
about so much lilyirisness!
Merci beaucoup to
Carol of Paris Breakfast
for pointing out my erring ways
and for giving me an opportunity
to add another lily-Iris image
to this virtual garden conundrum!

The irises in our yard are, I'm afraid, having a tragic story after a disastrous replanting attempt. I'm happy to be rewarded with a vision of some Viennese beauties, be they lilies or irises (or even "flags" as they're sometimes called here). Virtual gardening is what I'm best at, if you'd like to visit my "garden."

It looks like the most brilliant purple iris to me...absolutely stunning. I must find some eyeshadown in this color!
ReplyDeletePurple is very close to my favorite color. Sometimes I prefer red but then I see purple and renew my vows.
ReplyDeleteI believe a botanist would call it an Iris, but who cares with such a gorgeous picture and moment you have captured :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
This is such a fascinating post.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't really seen the resemblance before.
Irises are amongst my favorite flowers....
and of course the peonies just about now.
93'F today in New York!
So bright and beautiful! Wonderful post, Merisi.
ReplyDeleteIf you wish to have a look, I also have some flowers in my blog!
Enjoy a good evening :-)
Purple Iris are some of my favorites...and I wait with anticipation their bloom each year! So gorgeous! And as usual, your photos do NOT disappoint. And I love the fleur de lis connection! You are fabulous! Love, Janine XO
