This week we celebrate the Iris.

The iris comes in a wide range of colors, but I was inspired by the purple ones.
Both of my ensembles feature the radiant purple scarf that Bella gave me last May.

Did you know that the heraldic fleur de lis motif is based on both the lily and the iris? Now you do!

You, on the other hand, will hopefully link here!
