Sometimes I like buds better than blooms.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I post a picture and just a few words.

Iris flowers are delicate and fancy, but I think I actually prefer the simplicity and the more saturated colors of the buds.

I’m sure many flower enthusiasts would disagree with me, but there you have it.

I do think iris flowers are beautiful, though, and every year, I’m freshly surprised to see them transform from bud to bloom overnight.

Sonia and Zoe and I did a botany course for science this year, and when we were on a chapter about flowers, I looked for time-lapse videos of buds blooming.   I came across this one, which we love, which which includes several irises, actually.

(The red hibiscus at 2:30 always gives me chills!)

Watch it with your speakers on, because the music makes it so much better.

Thank you so much for telling all of us about this video...our whole family really liked it, and we kept saying, "Look what God did!"

The photography and editing were fabulous, also--and I agree with you about that red hibiscus!

Thanks for telling me to turn the music on; I rarely do but this was beautiful both visually and audibly.

I know, I hardly ever turn my speakers on either, but the music makes this so much better!
