Out with the Labs for a walk a couple of days ago when a flash
of color caught my eye. The Blue Flag
Iris (wild iris) growing in the shady damp is beginning to bloom.
Iris versicolor, sometimes called
the Northern Iris or Blue Flag Iris grows in clumps or patches along bodies of water.
In Greek mythology Iris is a personification
of the rainbow and messenger of the gods - thus explaining the wide range of
colors of this member of the iris family.
