Backyard Blooms

For Today's Flower's and Mosaic Monday I am showing my pretty irises. They are one of my favorite blooms. The color is a pretty purple but sometimes in photos they look blue.

I look forward every spring to see the beauties in bloom. I hope you enjoy them too.










I hope you enjoyed my Irises and to see more beautiful flowers please visit Today's Flowers  and to see more wonderful mosaics and photos please visit Mary's Mosaic Monday.  Thanks to the hosting team at Today's Flowers and thanks to Mary for hosting the fun Mosaic Monday.

Also, thank you for visiting my post and blog. I appreciate your comments. Have a great week ahead!

  19. Iris ... one of my favorite flowers especially the purple ones. I can't grow them here and that makes me sad. Love these shots ... they are all beautiful, but the one with the frog in the background made me smile!

  20. Absolutely gorgeous! Blue is my favorite flower color, and Siberian iris is one of the few perennials that the deer do not eat. They are a mainstay in my garden. Mine are just beginning to bloom now. :)

    The deer trample my bed during the winter so I don't get this many blooms.
