The Walking Iris

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Behind the screen of the ordinary
can be found unique and
wonderful things.

Fashion you can buy,
but style you possess.
Iris Apfel


The walking iris
Neomarica gracilis is
a flowering plant native to Brazil
that produces spikes of white flowers
with burgundy throats and blue stripes
from mid spring to mid fall.
Also known as the poor man's orchid

Ancient wisdom lives
in his subtle smile
the age old style he wears
and Aloha that he gives.

This is beautiful and really true. Often it just takes patience.

That window is perfect for the cat. It provides both light and a kind of box.

I love Pixie sitting in her sunspot drinking the day. Her flavor of the day seems to be rainbow glory.
