Iris Garden at Polesden Lacey

Polesden Lacey house

I went to Polesden Lacey while the sun was shining to see the iris garden.

A striking hip-height carpet of beautiful irises. Irises are clearly the flower of the year!

An iris, blinking
in the breeze
nods knowingly.
Like butterfly wings in motion
still.
Paintbrush marks
a shock of
veins
settled deep on the surface
of pattern petals.
A ballet dancer
in full flourish
unfurling an unerring
formation
pointing to their toes
with bowed head and hands.
