5-minute iris


This weekend we dug more long-accumulated leaf litter out of garden beds at the new house, and I discovered that we had iris buds almost ready to bloom. Oooh... what color will they be?

Overnight we got our answer: This morning we found soft blooms of the palest yellow... lovely!

Windy and hot today, so only time and patience for a 5-minute pencil sketch. Hoping for calm and cooler in the morning to give them proper sketchbook attention.
