A collection of my photos of flora and fauna, and maybe now and then,
something else that catches my attention and just will not let go.
Maybe even with little verbage, which is pretty hard for this gal.

So Dark Purple, it's Almost Black, Iris
Well, almost black. If you have not seen the bud before it opens into this dark beauty, be sure to visit Reflections From the Fence. The bud does look almost black.
I have found I am having so much fun with the camera that there are many more photos taken than will fit on my blog, Reflections From the Fence.
I post flora and fauna photos here. One subject a day, a flora and fauna 365 project. I managed to get past the first 365 and started the second year of this daily exercise. I made it till sometime in November of 2011. And, now, Flora and Fauna is just a regular ole blog, posting when I have something to share and the time to post it.
Some posts are wordy, some are wordless. My goal is to make them as wordless as possible. However, if I find something interesting during the posting/research process, I may share, ok, I will probably share. I hope you find the words and photos to be interesting.
Remember, by clicking on the photo, it will open in a new window, usually a larger view of the image, more detail, etc. Please use your back button to return here to Reflection's Flora and Fauna.
Thanks for stopping by.
A favorite photo from Bellingrath Gardens, near Mobile Alabama
Things I love: Family, Grandchildren, Rving, computers (sometimes, but not when they are being bad), family history, yorkies, techy toys like my iToys, photography.
I am all of these, so I write about them all, and more.

I love the purple background, classy. Thanks too for the info. about the Mugo Pine Trees, not sure if they are grown around here.
What a lovely flower. I have NEVER seen one so dark. Actually, I think I killed all my iris--I need to purchase some new ones.
Too beautiful for words!
Magnificent!
Beautiful photos, Carol! My grandmother grew iris, so they always remind me of her.
