I hook rugs, I knit and I have a life - not always in that order. Hooking rugs in the traditional way is a passion. Knitting is a way of keeping those idle hands busy. In my life, I am a mother, partner, sister,aunt, friend and a happy grammy. I work with volunteers and seniors when I'm not doing those other things. I enjoy being creative - and often reinvent the wheel. Above all, I value things that are not only beautiful but useful.

For the love of Iris
The iris blooms have finally unfurled. These are sisters but so completely different in their look.
The big oriental poppy looks plain compared to the neat construction and coloring of the iris.
You're right about how that poppy looks next to the iris. The iris are rather exotic looking, making the poppy plain. The blue ones are beautiful, but I must say that unusual white one looks more like an orchid to me! I'm so excited about your identification of our little plant, I'm getting ready to Google it and make sure, but you're probably right! Thanks so much! You DO know your flowers!
Stephanie those iris look beautiful and rather 'architectural' because of their design. But I do love the poppy too. Believe it or not, poppies are exotic blooms for me!

ReplyDeleteYou are right, the blue is exceptional.
ReplyDeleteThe iris is undoubtedly my favorite flower. I wish their blooms lasted longer, but while they're out, they're glorious.
