clever take on soft – uplifting 😊
Thanks!
The blue flowers are beautiful. Are they iris?
No, they’re Fringed Gentian, a tallgrass prairie plant. Aren’t they amazing?
Yes, amazing is a good descriptor – I would like to see one in person.
Well said Priscilla – and beautifully shown. Your irises are just gorgeous.
Thank you, Tina! Those blooms are not irises but Fringed Gentian, a tallgrass prairie flower that blooms in late September. They are much smaller than irises.
Wonderful, Priscilla – and that Fringed Gentian is a wonder of beauty! We certainly do not have it here…Excellent!
Those flowers are rare natives of the tallgrass prairie, along with bottle gentian, which also grows on the property where I took this picture. It is a nature preserve owned by my former employer, a land conservation organization.
They are fascinating.
That dog is surely comfortable in the soft bed!
He sure is!
