I tried to kill 'em but man are they resilient. I wish they were prettier or something other than YELLOW 'cause they are right by my mailbox.

It rained so I sloshed through to get a couple shots off.

Oh, this is the Tennessee state flower.

What a lovely iris! Great DOF and detail and the darkness is a wonderful foil for the delicate yellow of the bloom. You can send some my way (I bet they'd even grow since I'm in VA). They'll look nice with my purple Dutch irises :-)

But they ARE pretty! I love irises whatever colour, and I love this rain drizzled one with its oof neighbours behind.

Oh wow, don't kill them just send them my way. I really really love irises. And the droplets on them just ice the cake.
