Not Bad For the End of October

The picture above was taken this past Thursday (October 27). It shows two of our irises in bloom in the flower bed near the road in front of the house.

I always love driving by homes with flowers like this beside the road.
Irises always remind me of orchids.

And still blooming in Tennessee. Here in Bluff County upon our return from Arizona the flowers both domestic and wild were all gone with the hard frosts and drought. Now I wait for spring....

Oh wow this is fantastic! My lilies are way so done for this and yours are still blooming. Do you also have frost in your area? Thanks for the visit and don't forget to take time to wonder the awesome sweet smell and the vivid colors of the flowers. God is good! Happy Tuesday George and thanks for the visit too! ^_^
