A New Discovery in the Garden

I have been working on raking out my garden beds and pruning the past few weekends. It’s taking longer than usual due to the bum elbow, but at least I’m making progress. As I was removing the dead leaves from my Siberian Iris, I noticed the seed pods. I have always pruned these off without taking much notice. Today I took a closer look and thought, wow, how beautiful are these?! I cut some off to bring inside and put them in a vase.

The beauty of nature always amazes me. Just goes to show not to take it for granted. Think of all the beauty we can see if we only take the time to look a little more closely.
