Iris in the garden

All the irises have suddenly come out today because of the beautiful weather that we are having, I could not resist popping out and taking some photos of these lovely flowers and feeling lazy I took my I pad instead of my camera , I was amazed at how close I could get in with the camera to get a perfect picture.

I will be adding flowers to the bicycle baskets
