special flower

When I arrived at mom & dad's late this afternoon, my mom was so excited. "Oh! Lenna! I have something for your photo journal. It's a special flower I only got recently and it's blooming ever so beautifully! Do you have your camera?"

Why yes! I seem to carry it with me everywhere these days. Do you think the camera & I are somehow explicitly attached now?? : ) I only took about 80 photographs already today . . . but YES! Show me this plant.

And now I will show YOU. It is a type of Iris, a beautiful and unusual one. I think my mom said it was a Marisa?
