Some of the most delicate and lovely flowers are in the iris family ranging from the blue flag that is native to the NJ wetlands to the highly cutivated garden varieties. Most of them usually bloom in May. The Siberian Iris is a hardy variety, similar in appearance to the smaller wild flag with narrow leaves except that they are brighter. They are doing very well in my garden and increasing in number every year. They seem to float on long slender stems and are such an vibrant purple. The larger purple iris grows next to my friends house and always reminds me of her flower gifts. The lilies bloom in June and July. We had yellow dutch iris, the purple bearded iris similar to the ones pictured here, day lilies, and lemon and tiger lilies in our garden at "home". The tiger lilies bloom in late July and early August. Each year the blooming of the iris and then the lilies adds loveliness and continuity to the pagant of life. Some things don't change much and I'm so glad.
The pastel water lilies were done from a photo taken when my daughter and I were at Monet's pond in Giverny, France in October years ago.
