Look at this; this is lovely, sort of off-white, almost yellow. Wonderful.

I think close-up photography of flowers is delicious. So sensual and the shapes are evocative of lacy fabric, folds of sheer viole. So beautiful and feminine.

Purple and Yellow Bearded Iris

Growing along 10th street, this bearded iris grows beneath a flowering cherry. It's nice to have trees and iris planted along the streets.
