Beautiful! Not only the iris, but the lavender too! I love the light in your photos this week - warm and sunny weather as well as a warm and sunny vase. 😃
That's one beautiful bearded Iris, Amy, and it makes a great focal point in your arrangement. I've haphazard luck with bearded Irises - those that seem to bloom the most reliably are the ones I completely ignore at the bottom of my back slope ;)
Oh I can just imagine why you were so excited about the irises if it was the first time they had bloomed for you - and I am sure they enjoyed the conversation! Curiously, although the bloom you picked does not hugely stand out in the vase, it subtly pulls in all the other blooms and foliage and is very much an integral part of the it. Setting the vase off against the pebbles and rocks is really effective too - thanks for sharing it, and the excitement of your garden and its increasing number of blooms
The light of your photos is magical, and the elements and your arrangement are dreamy. Iris time...now that is exciting!
