Scarlet poppies brilliantly pop against a contrasting yellow-green and blue-green background.
As winter roars on in the northeast, we behold the promise of spring.
Painting in Longs Garden amongst the rows of irises in every hue was almost heaven. Dark clouds threatened rain with sunlight piercing intermittently. Fragrances wafted by on a cool breeze. Did you realize varieties of irises have unique fragrances. For example the old fashioned purple irises have a grape scent, while the yellow blooms are lemon scented. A newer variety with a gold, pink and lavender blossom hinted an aroma of fruit salad.
