Stinking Iris Berries

Stinking Iris Berries
I'd never even heard of this plant until I spotted these berries whilst on a walk last week. After a bit of research I discovered they were the seed pods of a wild flower called Stinking Iris, named because apparently the flowers smell like meat that is slightly "off". Lovely!

I decided not to keep any seeds for the garden.....................

A wonderful capture! I love these berries. We have them in the garden and I have not noticed a bad smell the iris is extremely beautiful and delicate too. The birds brought them to my pond anD I don’t regret it.
This would fit in with one of the challenges we are running and I think you’d like the macro group . I’ll invite you Keith and you can think about joining us, we’d be very pleased.

Thanks for you kind comments Jan. Much appreciated.

I'm flattered to be asked to join the group.........but I have to decline I'm afraid. I try and avoid challenges etc and besides that I barely have time to keep up with my contacts and the groups I'm already in..........sorry, but thanks for asking :-)
