Today's picture with a Message - "Begin today, and end today, with a Thankful Heart!"

Whatever happened in your day today, stop and focus on the many beautiful things that surround you - let it all captivate you. 'It is wonderful.'

Today I found the beautiful and delicate Wild Iris . They are native to South Africa. These flowers are drought resistant. They flourish in full sunlight or semi shade. They are extremely hardy and survive in almost any soil, withstanding long periods of drought. They flower in abundance during summer, especially after rain.

The flower is from the Dietes Grandiflora Family : Iridaceae (Iris Family)
Known as:
Large Wild Iris, Fairy Iris (English)
Groot Wilde-Iris (Afrikaans),
Isiqungasehlati (Zulu)
