garden jewels




a peek inside the sketchbook of Mother Nature
always reveals the most magnificent masterpieces!


{these beautiful flowers live outside my front door, 
and their gorgeous blooms only last for one day.
does anyone know the name of these garden jewels?}

    Yes, it's an Iris. Growing up we had tons and tons of these. Gorgeous.

    I Think The Flower Is Just An Extension Of The Owner!

    Hi, It's a Tigridia flower. We have a few in our garden in Scotland but it will be July before we see them I think.

    Lovely colors in this blossom. I see an Iris but don't know which variety. Mother Nature really does it beautifully. Blissful weekend dear...

    hi Lori, love your work, that flower is a orchid, they have a very short flower life span, where a iris will last weeks

    Not an orchid. Trigridia ia a relative of the Iris, native to Mexico.

    VERY beautiful!
