Bright spot on a cloudy day
What I failed to capture here was the deep, deep purple of these iris; the camera lens does not equal the lens of the human eye.
downed in last night’s storm
The pink rhododendron, however, shines through with its bright colors.
Settling in for the next storm.

Purple enough for me! They are just beautiful!
Brilliant colors! I do not grow irises, so I am happy to see your photo, no matter what color.
Lovely.
I miss spring flowers. Gardening in Florida is okay but not the same. Iris!!!! Also love that little metal bird you have in your flower pot. Thanks for the infusion of spring!
I do love the bold colors of spring and early summer.
