This photo seems to speak of internal peace to me, too. Perhaps the having or the seeking. After my mom died, an African violet showed up mysteriously in my classroom. No one knew who had dropped it off. It was her favorite flower and bloomed continuously. I refuse to believe it was a coincidence.
How exciting... I love when my Irises started blooming. They have been pasted down through my family for years. I have no idea what the official names of each bloom, but I love watching all the colors return each year. I probably have another month before my first bloom! Beautiful photo :)
beautiful and fresh!
ReplyDeleteJust lovely, Cat.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot of a beautiful flower!!
ReplyDeleteAren't they beautiful?! So delicate looking, but tough. The perfect combination in a plant!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful flower, blooming so early, seems like it should be named differently . . . like Resurrection Iris.
ReplyDeleteI like that, Chad ♥
DeleteBeautiful, and so poignant.
ReplyDeleteI thought so too, Janet.
DeleteThat will be a beautiful memory of your mother.
ReplyDeleteOh, you took my breath away with that photo! What a beauty. Many thanks.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
That photo's softness exemplifies the peace I (probably we) need today!

ReplyDeletePreciosa la imagen, me encanta! Y disfruta de la primavera.(Por acá, en cambio, dentro de poco comenzará el otoño)Un abrazo grande.
ReplyDeleteThat is the loveliest picture of a cemetery iris I have ever seen! How joyful that you have it!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of a cemetery iris until your ghostly photo -- very beautiful. I think they seem like a perfect memorial.
ReplyDeleteExquisite. It makes me think of sunshine starting to come through the snow.
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful. Thinking of you sweet friend.
