beautiful watercolour painting by Hanka Koebsch
"Blütenzauber der gelben Schwertlilien"
"The Floral Magic of Yellow Irises"
"The Floral Magic of Yellow Irises"
Frank says to this picture:
"Ich mag die Schwertlilien. Mich faszinieren die Formen der Blüten und die verschiedenen Farben. Nicht um sonst ist der botanische Name der Schwertlinien, Iris, von der griechischen Göttin des Regenbogens, Iris, abgeleitet ist. Bisher habe ich Schwertlilien in Blau und Violett gemalt."
"I like irises. I am fascinated by the shapes of their blossoms and their various colors. It is not without reason that the botanical name for irises—*Iris*—is derived from Iris, the Greek goddess of the rainbow. So far, I have painted irises in blue and violet."
Irises are not my favourite flowers and yellow is also not my favourite flower colour but isn't this a fabulous pictures???

Some of you might have noticed that I was quite absent from the blog this month. That's because I have been ill for several weeks. I am geting back on my feet again slowly but surely but it might take a while until I am back to normal. I have prepared a few posts for the beginning of the month that I will post but other than that, it will take a while.

I'm sorry you've been so ill! I hope you're feeling better. I did notice you were gone, but was hoping it was for a fun reason, like a vacation. ;D
ReplyDeleteWishing you speedy recovery
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear that you haven't been well. Is it the heat? I noticed that mainland Europe has been getting rather toasty of late (more than us!). Get well VERY soon!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to know you're on the mend? I thought you might not be feeling well, with less activity on your blog than usual. Take your time, read and rest!
ReplyDeleteHappy June to you! I think we have been ill together. Today was the first day I felt back to my old self again. Peter and Flora also got sick, but not Miriam. I think we brought something back from New Hampshire. We have irises in our yard. Peter really likes them (he planted them), but ours are purple.
ReplyDeleteThank you all. I caught a nasty virus and don't seem to be able to get rid of it. Thanks for your good wishes.
ReplyDeleteAnd good wishes to all of you.
I found all flowers fascinating. I especially like flower art. This one is lovely.
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll get better very quick.
Have a lovely day.
Sorry to hear that you've been ill, but glad to hear that you are recovering.
ReplyDeleteI love irises and yellow is my favorite color, so yellow irises feature prominently in my garden in the spring! I do love the image you used for this post.
Take care and best wishes as you recover health and strength.
Thanks for the good wishes, I am recovering slowly.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear that you have been ill. Good that you are recovering though. It takes longer and longer to recover these days. Take it easy, enjoy reading and being with friends and family. Don't think too much about blog posts.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisbeth. It was a very nasty virus and many people are long suffering.
DeleteBeautiful painting! I have a patch of yellow irises in my garden, but they've been slow to flower this year, so this is a good stand-in :) Sorry you've been ill - hope you make a quick recovery and get back to full blogging speed soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I could help you a little with this picture then, Andrew. The painter is very good, so I am always happy to share his monthly picture.
DeleteThanks for your good wishes.
