Hey Allan, I have a yellow iris plant, too, and yesterday I saw a hummingbird flitting around it trying to drink the nectar. He stayed for about a minute and then flew off. I’m hoping he’ll come back but I haven’t seen him since. The irises are right outside my back door, so it’s easy to monitor. Have you ever seen a hummingbird near your flowers?

Yellow Irises at Dusk

His warm buttery yellows

Are nestled comfortably

Upon dark basement blues

While vivid greens push

Beautiful colors skyward

Of Yellow Irises at Dusk

Now I see what you're saying -
So eloquently,
To which I say humbly, I'd love to bring
Comfort and life to a second-rate space,
And elevate ordinary.
Because you say I could.

Thank You wyn

Thank you, George, for posting them.
