Hoo boy! Lose internet for four days (don’t ask,) and suddenly I have a shitload of things to post, on top of the things that I already had waiting. It’s gonna be a while to catch it all up, plus tomorrow is going to be busy so not only will I make no progress then, I might even add to the backlog. In the meantime, I present a blue flag iris (Iris versicolor,) one of many that popped up in the puddle, as we call it, the same one where the wood ducks explored that one time and is now almost dry, certainly not swimmable by even a minnow. You may recall the yellow flag irises that were near the old place, but I definitely like the blue better.
More to come!
