Iris blooming here too! I love the greens in the second markmaking, and the texture in the boughs below. Thank you Quinn for your keen eye.

Now I see that the middle drawing is clintonia from behind. Such a lovely flower at all stages (and perspectives).
DeleteI saw only that one Clintonia flowering this year! Many plants were somewhat thrown off by the bizarre winter heat wave, I think.
DeleteI always like flowers, but there's something about the tree that is wonderfully appealing.
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful tree :)
DeleteWell done. Iris' are such pretty flowers and always a welcome sight this time of year.
ReplyDeleteThere's one gorgeous bearded iris blooming now, and I'm going to try to get some nice photographs :)
