Second Time Around

[Ysarex112 106]

Had some fun yesterday in the garden. I was pulling weeds when one of the regular walkers came by and stopped suddenly at the end of the garden. She looked up at me and said, "It's a climate change freak! That's got to be a sure sign of climate change." She was pointing at an iris I have planted near the sidewalk at the corner of the garden, and yes it was blooming in mid September. I assured her it was not a climate change freak but a reblooming iris doing what it's supposed to do. However I did also confirm for her that we long-time gardeners were aware of multiple signs confirming climate change -- I pointed over at the cannas and told her we no longer needed to dig them out in the Fall. Here's the iris: Oly Pen E-PL9 w/14-42mm

Nice shot, shame that where the sun was shining strongest there are some burns.

Lovely photo and my favorite flower. My Mom (now long gone) got me hooked on iris with about 4 raised iris beds. Before we sold their home, I dug some of my Mom's iris and they bloom every year - reminding me of her
