Hi everyone, been pretty busy working in the yard and just enjoying the gorgeous hot weather we are having here in Northern Ontario.

Captured this image of "Holy Night" this morning, (2020, 06-30) Tuesday . Very sad to say these 2 are the last standing iris's for this season. They were the first to bloom and now they are the last to end the season.

She is my favourite one of all our different iris's. Such a rich purple and she feels like velvet to the gentle touch.

"Happy Canada Day To All Our Canadian Friends

Stay safe and healthy. ♥ ♥ Skates ♥ ♥

Your last standing Iris, omg, don't tell me the others have taken a stem!!!

Well, if it is the last one standing at least it's a beauty. Just like the others you have shown us. :)

As it should be Skates. She should be the last one standing.
Awesome colors and photo.

Another excellent 'portrait' of this 'floral queen' in a velvet robe, Pat!
She may be gone soon, but the capture remains, giving you and us the opportunity to enjoy her appearance again, and again!
Thanks for this beauty, my friend, 👍 !

Time to say good-bye to your beautiful irises. Pity they don't last a little longer.

They bit the dust here as soon as the really hot weather hit a couple of weeks ago - this one is so dark and lovely.

They are a dark and majestic looking kind of Iris. Good capture, Pat.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
