These Iris are so beautiful that they sometimes just take your breath away.

Spring is such a wonderful time because it signals a new beginning for everything in nature. Many years ago my neighbor planted these Iris along the fence behind his house. And each spring they put on quite a show. Mother Nature must have a sense of humor because they will bloom for six weeks or so and then just look like broad leaf weeds the rest of the year. I suppose the brief time they bloom is what makes them so wonderful.
