Siberian Irises


I made a little arrangement of Siberian irises today. We have a major problem with mosquitoes right now (spray, city, spray!) so in the 5 minutes or so which it took me to pick the flowers, I had about a dozen or more bites! Anyway, I took some photos in the kitchen under halogen light, and some in front of a window with natural light. You can see the difference lighting makes...decorators are always telling us that, aren't they?

These are breathtaking, Mille!

I know what you mean. I was trying to photograph something outside, and they ran me INSIDE. But I love your arrangement and am so glad you got this shot for us. It's GORGEOUS.

XO,

Sheila :-)

Your irises are stunning. I liked both lighting arrangements. My irises came and went so fast I never even got any inside. I went out and took a photo of one as it had fallen over. Maybe next year.

Victoria…and Me

To see larger photos, click to enlarge.. The May-June 2009 Victoria magazine is one of my favorites, featuring blue and white... one of the open pages with an article on linens...it just happens that I have one of the patterns... There is also a feature on blue and white Wedgewood ... I have photographed some of my pieces alongside the article... ....here is my interpretation of blue and white... As a nod to the current issue of Victoria, which features some tea tables in green, I have  set out my own little tea table, with some scones... ...or perhaps you'd like to help yourself to a chocolate-cherry morsel? On this spring day, I am joining in with : Celebrate Spring http://blissfulrhythm.blogspot.com/ Mary's Mosaic Monday, on whose blog you will see some lovely snowdrops: http://dearlittleredhouse.blogspot.com/2011/03/mosaic-monday-snowdrops.html Also,   Sandi is having a special tea party today, so be sure to go over there and enjoy her lovely blog
