Iris Flowers in my Bouquet

My son gave me flowers for Mother's Day a couple of weeks ago. (Both of my sons and husband gave me flowers for Mother's Day so my home smelled like a florist and I wasn't mad about it, that's for certain.)

But the bouquet my oldest gave me included these beautiful irises. This picture is of one flower that took two weeks to open. 

It smelled divine and kept the family room smelling like an outdoor flower garden.

The flowers finally said goodbye to me but not before I snapped a picture of this last iris opening. Two of the "sides" of the bud still had yet to open.

Flowers. I love them...
