Mad with Joy

People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us.
-Iris Murchoch

I am inclined to agree with Iris Murdoch, even though she is obviously prejudiced by the fact that she is named after the worst flower. Irises, the open-faced sandwich of the flower world. Yeah, I said it.

Fortunately for you, I don’t have any iris pictures in this collection. These flower pictures are from the 2016 backlog. It consists of pictures of gazania and hibiscus. Gazania are African daisies.

Here are some pictures:

These flowers were all in my personal flower garden.

With any luck, I will have cleared out the 2016 backlog by 2019.
