Iris Blooms

Last week, I visited the most beautiful Iris Gardens
 in the grounds of a castle not too far from where I live. 
Jardins des Iris

These white and purple stripey blooms were so stunning
and I had to include all of them !

The sun played hide and seek with the clouds throughout the whole of my visit and there was a mean wind blowing and making all the plants tremble and sway enormously!
I did manage to get some shots that weren't blurred though!
I think that I will add them bit by bit over a few days!

  2. These look like beautiful paintings Sandra.
    Ours are blooming now too.
    It just needs to stop raining so I can get out there with my camera! :-(
    You have a wonderful day!

  3. Oh Sandra these are gorgeous pictures. The iris is such a pretty flower. I hope your weather starts to pick up soon. We are having lovely weather at the moment, sunny and warm. I was beginning to think we were never going to get warm weather again.

  5. Super shots of these gorgeous flowers, Sandra! The purple and white stripes are so vivid -- wouldn't it be fun to have dress like this? I love the frilly shapes of the blossoms. So glad you were able to overcome the obstacles and get such lovely images!

  6. Wow Sandra, these are spectacular! I so love this combination with the tiny purple striped that looks like someone patiently used a fine-tip fountain pen and drew down each petal. Stunning!
