Over the weekend we had activities which I really planned on posting photos for this week’s WS. But at the last minute I decided to rather post my first ever Iris (pic) that bloomed in our garden. As always, the first bloom during spring time is what I’m always waiting for but due to the number of garden snails, I thought we would not have any Irises this year. The past year we scattered powder on the ground to kill the snails and slugs. But no matter how destructive these are, we really don’t want to kill them but just forbid them from leaving eaten plants and flowers behind.
This year’s powder (we’re using a different one, environmentally and pet friendly) seems to be working fine because I don’t see any slime indicating their visit. Rather I saw just a lone snail eating a pit that fell from a plant (this is my other WS entry, by the way)
Here’s my first Iris bloom before the rain almost destroyed it.

Great shot of an iris. Strange, I took a very similar photo this weekend just after a rain shower (http://www.flickr.com/photos/littleredplanet/) Nice site and photos! I’m going to head over to the weekend snapshot now to have a look.
Keep snapping!
