Pretty iris makes a nice sunny banner which is extra nice to look at on this cold, wet winter day.

I would love to see that one growing in my garden too!!

Sometimes I feel we should all take a closer look at the intricate details of our blooms. This banner illustrates the delicate nature of just how amazing and perfect the flower is naturally constructed and formed. Well worth a closer look; Thanks Casey!
