Been rainin and cold of late - Didn't think I'd find anything worth sharing taday (cause I ran out yesterday ...) but here goes

Got a few irises shown up (that's tomorrow's picture) but fer now, a dwarf iris, almost lost in amonst the grass. I really love this little flower, with it's green-as-the-leaves petals. Problem is, while removing the grass around it, seems I broke one a the upper petals  :-\

still worth sharin ...

First hint of what the Irises are gonna produce this year - mid hight, few blossoms per stem, but of a vivid colour

OK - went out & took 18 pics, reduced their size and photobucketed em.

Got 5 pics a this button (call em double buttercups) - small flowers (size a my pinky's fingernail) but they've mutiplied like crazy and can blanket the whole ground in that non flowerbed near the house in the back. Here's a picture a just one flower!
