Stopping to Smell the Flowers

I received a notice that a book I had reserved was in, so I dropped by the library. Bright colors near the parking lot caught my eye. I had things to do, places to go. I rushed inside, grabbed my materials, and headed to my car with the intention of zooming home and starting in on chores.

Then I remembered. The last few years I have missed viewing the iris garden on the library grounds. The irises were in bloom. It was now or never. 

Iris flowers mean spring to me. I have a standard purple iris that is extremely hardy in my flower garden. Although it is difficult to choose favorites, irises are definitely in my top ten favorite flowers. Enjoy the photos!
