| May 29 - 'Langport Flash' |
On a sunny morning at the end of May I was at my desk and saw the sun shining through and lighting up the flowers of the bearded
Iris just outside. I stepped outside, took a picture with the iPad and posted it on Facebook simply captioned Morning Iris. Next day another was catching the sun, so got the same treatment. from then on, for the past 24 days, there has been a different 'Morning Iris' (with two on 11 June), until today, when I've posted the last to come into flower in this garden. All have been taken with the iPad, in sun or rain, and here is the full series. I inherited many of the clumps of bearded iris from my predecessor, and the labels have disappeared from some others, so I don't know the names of all, but they are indicated where I do.
