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.
Cornwall in Colours 
A perfect bloom.
Yes, beautifully formed.
Tongues arranged in a circle- yes, that fits!
My irises are not so imaginative, but equally beautiful.
True! Have a lovely day, Jude.
Off to buy a sofa. Only been 8 years! Could be traumatic.
We’re a bit like that with our mattress! 🤭🩵 Don’t get one too big, for when you move to Devon!
Heehee…
This reminds me of the very first squares and sharing an iris in memory of my grandmother. My iris was also a Kew one!
Weren’t all your first squares from Kew? My mum was called Iris, so they are very special flowers for me too.
They were indeed, well remembered . . . and yes I now remember you telling me that at the time 😀
One of my garden favourites.
Irises are so beautiful and there are so many different ones. This is in one of the glasshouses.
Exquisite. I love the information about this lovely bloom too.
I don’t think you can get a poor iris.
Another one who loves irises, but I didn’t know what they symbolised before.
attributes we all have need of.
Wow, that’s stunning!
Yes, it’s quite an attention grabber!
That’s such a lovely bloom.
An unusual shape. Reminds me of a child’s windmill / pinwheel
That’s a lovely Iris, Jude. Perfect colours.
Best wishes, Pete. x
Probably the most common colour combination, purple and yellow.
What a beautiful Iris!
An unusual one.
