Here is the latest in the series of flowers from my garden, which is inhabited by a substantial number of foxgloves, buttercups, a large clematis and general weeds. But I was amazed to find this beauty in amongst the rest - and even more amazed that I actually managed to capture its delicacy rather succesfully (I'm normally not so good at these things). One more tomorrow, then I will hopefully have emerged from the city where there are very few flowers and very many people!

Lily? No Iris actually!

That looks like a beautiful Dutch iris! Most irises grow from underground stems called rhizomes, but Dutch irises grow from bulbs. They do well just about anyplace daffodils can grow.

Yes, I think that's an iris too. But whatever it is, you've captured it beautifully!
