The Lens and I 
Just this morning I was looking at photos of wild iris that I took in March. I’d meant to post them, and now we’re coming to the end of July. The riches are nearly overwhelming. It truly has been hard to keep up with the profusion of flowers this year. I still feel like it ought to be spring, but the late summer flowers already are growing and putting out buds. Dear, me!

The same quandry here! I’ve several photo files taken earlier that are unposted. I may be posting them next winter if I don’t do something soon. 🙂

Most of our garden are the kind that grow via suckered, puff ball etc, low maintenance, always something flowering
