    Gorgeous, Eliza 🙂

    (funny how I’ve got a photo of a similar, if not the same, variety).

    Gorgeous! I’ve had and killed a few Iris ensata but they haven’t stayed around for too long. Glorious success!

    Lovely details! Flowers are more ‘patient’ than butterflies to photograph…😁 the Monarch I was following a few days, wouldn’t stand still!

      Yes, flowers are easier for sure. I’ve been seeing more Monarchs lately and there are caterpillars on my plants. 🙂

        Oh, joy! I’ve not seen any Milkweed nibbles….only one BST ‘pillar here, on Rue & it’s last day on Parsley. Saw a Monarch today, too.

    ….the Iris’ stripes remind me of Crocus stripes…
