Passing by the little church at Woodland in July a flash of vivid colour caught my eye. So curiosity led me in to investigate.
Making my way to the colour luminous in the sunshine I discovered its flowery source growing
contained within a grave stone. I looked on the stone end for a name but time had erased all trace, but surely nature and the unknown gardener had already shown me the Christian name of the occupant
Iris.

I DO love iris blossoms. These are such a great shade of blue.
How lovely and touching! So much nicer than a bare patch.

What lovely colours. Lovely blog. Thanks.
Love the contrast from the old headstones, and the new fresh irises!! Love capture.
Lovely. Someone once cared very much.
Beautiful blues!
I love old graveyards...looking at the weathered stones, their designs, wondering what that life had been like...
Beautiful wild irises! It does look like it is the same or similar to the one I posted! I can never get enough of those.
A sweet story and many beautiful shots in this blog!
