Spring Dancers

These fairy ballerinas in their silken costumes last way too short a time dancing in the spring winds.  They swirl and twirl and waft on grape perfume and then are gone almost before the wind dies down.  You must click on them to feel the breath of a spring wind on your face.

  2. Irises always remind me of ballerinas in their tutus. I agree with Brian. Brilliant captures Tabor. Thank you for sharing.

  3. We took bunches of these to lay on family graves on Memorial Day. My dad called them "flags". The reference is to a fluer de lis, and I do not know how prevelant that name is. But, by any name, they are lovely.

    Both my grandmothers called them flags as well, I'd forgotten.

  11. They are just luscious!! Mine are pure white, but this year only 5-6 of them bloomed, and then the rain and cold got them. I wish mine were as colorful as yours.
