    I thought I'd put this up while we're in a mid-winter lull. Hubby brought home this beautiul piece of glass as a surpie. (little surprise) It has a heavy texture and beautiul colors in it.

    It just said "iris" so who were we to argue?

    One of my favorite flower can't wait for spring to see the Louisiana Irises bloom in the swamp, that is absolutely beautiful. :sete_005: :sete_005:
