Moving Forward: Day 22

Becky’s Squares photo challenge has returned.

This month’s theme is Renew. Or Burgeoning. Or Moving Forward. Or Reconstructing.

You get the idea.

Seeing the garden awaken after months of deluge made me think that maybe seeing how nature renews itself might be my theme. Although my intention was to feature my own garden this month, a visit to Kew Gardens at the beginning of the month with my daughter and granddaughter provided me with the opportunity to experiment with the phone I have inherited from my son.  So for the next week or so I shall share some of the things that caught my eye there. Spending time with family very much helped me in the process of moving forward.

A purple iris flower symbolises faith, courage, valour, hope and wisdom. (Iris cycloglossa – sometimes known as the ‘Afghani iris’. The name ‘cycloglossa’ comes from the Greek words, ‘tongues arranged in a circle’.

    Lovely iris(?) and explanation of purple.

      An unusual iris and extremely eye-catching.

  2. I love seeing irises growing wild in nature (something I see here often on our hikes). Your photo makes me think I should take a closer look at them next time – what a beautiful flower!

      It’s a pretty one. Growing in the temperate part of the glasshouse so maybe not one for outside here.

let's have a conversation...
