I'm a fused glass artist, jewelry designer, and dabbler in all things creative from New York who shares her studio with some wonderful furry kids. Mom to 3 and Nana to 5! I'm seriously enraptured of fresh brewed iced tea, Creamsicle frozen yogurt, love to read and spend time in our garden and fields with furries and family. I could totally do without Northeast winters! You can find my work at http://WillowGlass.etsy.com

Irises from the Garden
Perfection is when you wake up to new blooming treasures from your garden. My gardens are relatively new (we've been in our house less than 3 years) and we've been taking our time getting the gardens just right. In the last month or so, we've been making a Sunday trip to one of the local nurseries and just picking out two or three things at a time.
One of my favorite flowers is the beautiful iris and these are glorious orange (many of you know this is my favorite color!) and black with just a hint with very deep purple. These are in the front of the house in front of the lattice on the dorch (in Willow World, dorch = deck + porch, hahahaha!) I also chose a Monarda and something called Goat's Beard (hahaha) and I'll post pictures of those when they come up.
What's blooming in your garden today?

Your Iris are beautiful! That black/violet one is gorgeous! I don't remember seeing one that color before, very stunning!
I stopped by to let you know that you've gained a mention on my blog, Twisted Thicket Studio's - Mouse Trails. I've passed on an award to you for having a lovely blog. :)
LadyK, thank you so much! I'm off to check your blog right now :)
There are so many wonderful blogs out there that I find myself making fewer trips to the library and reading online!
Simply beautimous! Black flowers are my favs.
