How beautiful! You must have a green thumb, Angel! I used to have pretty purple irises like that, but they've washed out to a yucky faded yellow color the last several years. Every once in a while a pretty one comes up though!
Angel - What did you do to get such beautiful irises? I have planted iris bulbs for the past 2 years. In the first batch, they all came up, but only one bloomed. In this most recent batch, only one came up and it didn't bloom. What do I need to do????????
Jenny, I don't know. These were planted before we moved in. 2 years ago they bloomed beautifully. In the fall, I cut them all back. Last year, the leaves grew, but no blooms. I was afraid I'd done something wrong, but I cut them back again in the fall (because my mom said to). This year they bloomed again bunches and bunches.

Pretty flowers! Thank you :) I think we need to play another game of Scrabble
simply beautiful! I can't walk by my columbines without thinking of Elianna's "pig noses"!

Happy Mother's Day to you too! Hope it was sweet!
Those are AMAZING shots! What lens did you use?
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Canon EF-S 60mm f2.8 Macro. It's my favorite!
Those flowers remind me of visiting my grandmother. She had a whole garden full of iris. Ah...
Hope your Mother's Day was just as beautiful as these delightful photos.
I have no idea what that camera talk that you and Em are discussing here means, but whatever lens' you used, those pics are awesome!
These pictures are gorgeous, I have a Canon EOS 10D
What extremely beautiful flower pictures!!
