Only Mother Nature creates such gorgeous designs offered as amazing gifts! Fortunately, we're designed to appreciate their glory. Thank you for portraying the irises so beautifully for our delight! I love that they spend much of the year resting and renewing underground, waiting for light and warmth to reveal their beauty again. Idaho's version is the wild camas flower, glorious in their perennial impermanence.
Sydneyyy, these nature moments are pockets of joy in my day! Thanks for the delightful read! Your tale of the Northern Blue Flag Irises made me chuckle. Who knew that roadside ditches could be such glamorous wildflower runways? And that grand name, "the Reservoir," for a humble patch of land? Love it!
“Turns out, in my garden, I’m not the only one planting seeds. I sometimes forget that.” Wonderful magic, thank you! Roadside ditches in my part of the world are far less flashy!

I completely agree, Joni! I just looked up the wild Camas blossoms - absolutely stunning 💕
Beautiful images Sydney. I especially like the white lines against the purple on the petals of that iris.
Thanks, Neil! Yes, they're like little hand-painted artworks, each one :)
“my plans are already growing in hidden spaces, reaching towards a future light”…. What a beautiful sentiment and reminder!
Thank you, Kimberly! I agree, it's very anchoring and comforting to remember :)

Thanks, Gillian! 🤣 It cracks me up every time I see it, like "ooooh, how fancy" 🤣
Just beautiful! Both words and pictures. Full of hope, and yes I agree - God directs our steps, even when we don't see it yet. 🙏❤
Thanks so much, Grace!💕
Wonderful. Happy sigh. 🤗🤗😘
Hugs to Australia! How are things in your part of the world? 🤗
Decidedly chilly. But you don’t appreciate spring as much without going through winter first. Enjoy your lovely summer. 🤗🤗
