Plenty of greenery here, I particularly like the light on the iris leaves.
The iris is basking in the spotlight.
Reminds me of my gardens here in the woods. And, as a blogging friend once reminded me, green is a color, too.
🙂
The best type of gardens are patchwork ones.
All so beautiful 💚
I like these shots because they show green things living in harmony, including ones we think of as weedy.
Very true. Everything has value
How wonderful to see all these greens! If ever there were a color for hope, green in March would be it, and not just for St. Patrick’s Day (though that is a worthy reason). I am particularly drawn to that bright woodland fern with the mysterious dark behind it, and to the shadows behind the iris leaves — on my computer, they have a blue cast and it’s a lovely invitation to look behind.
The bluish leaves are yellow flag irises that grow wild in our moist climate. The fern is probably a type of ferny moss now I look more closely at it and the dark bits are leaves turned to chocolate by the winter. Only in metaphorical terms – the leaves would not last long otherwise along a public footpath.
What a popular footpath that would be!
Such a happy mix of shades! And the blackberries almost look ready to eat.
Were these all in the same person’s yard?
Good question! Only two of them were in gardens (the second was in Yorkshire and the third, Mississippi). The rest were growing wild in my home town. You’ve picked up why I took the pictures – to celebrate their combinations of textures and colours.
Definitely the dolour of the moment
The colour, you meant, but dolour of the moment sadly works too.

Sorry about that, Susan
I like the pink tipped leaves 🙂 🙂
Funny how they’ve been munched on, too.
🤣💕
