  • I would call the iris "regal," rather than "humble." Now why doesn't some clever plant breed come up with one that blooms through spring and summer?

  • Thank you for sharing your new creations At the end of my suffering there was a door. Hear me out: that which you call death I remember. Overhead, noises, branches of the pine shifting. Then nothing. The weak sun flickered over the dry surface. It is terrible to survive as consciousness buried in the dark earth. Then it was over: that which you fear, being a soul and unable to speak, ending abruptly, the stiff earth bending a little. And what I took to be birds darting in low shrubs. You who do not remember passage from the other world I tell you I could speak again: whatever returns from oblivion returns to find a voice: from the center of my life came a great fountain, deep blue shadows on azure sea water. -- Louise Glück

  • Dear Berard; These lovely Irises are far from humble and so very elegant in their simplicity. You have captured them just beautifully and as always, I am thrilled to stop by and see more of your amazing photography. Thank you for sharing your extraordinary gift. Blessings, Marjie

  • Bernard, nothing humble about the Iris, if we did not have orchids... Iris would be considered exotic! I have 5 varieties of Siberica + several others types but not the ones that require a lot of moisture, my sandy soil is just too dry. Eric

  • Bernard, what a little masterpiece you've created here! Pro-quality shots of this beautiful flower. Next to the royal Orchid, this has always been one of my favourite flowers. You've outdone yourself (again), thank you! Marita

  • Hi Bernard: what an exquisite choice of colours and forms - after all, Iris is not looking as humble as that...! Excellent idea to limit to one species - we get a much better idea of the great variety. Thank you - take care! Kaethi and Henri
