Posting late today (around 12:15 noon), as after a grand total of only eight hours sleep over the previous three nights, I had no choice but to turn off all alarm clocks and sleep till I woke today! It's only 1C and overcast, to reach 4C this afternoon, so no tempting sunshine, which is good, as I have some really important things to see to today - things that do not include photography : ) I took this photo of a beautiful Iris flower at the Reader Rock Garden on 24 June 2015, when I called in after a volunteer shift. I always like seeing Irises - such graceful flowers. "Iris is a genus of 260–300 species of flowering plants with showy flowers. It takes its name from the Greek word for a rainbow, which is also the name for the Greek goddess of the rainbow, Iris." From Wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_ (plant)
