feeling like summer!

all of the iris are in bloom in my garden! 
it’s just so beautiful to walk down this path and soak it all in each morning!
the colors are incredible and i just adore this purple with the brilliant yellow of the little flowers scattered behind it.
i just love the flow between these flowers, especially beside the rock wall,
the way the purple melts into the white here,
and all of that amazing green!
i planted this garden with a lot of love (and help) three years ago and it’s just amazing to see how much everything has filled in and grown!
