Bearded in velvet, purple and green
with the loveliest crown ever seen
queen of a scene magically seen
through the gaze of every beholder
her beauty's enhanced as she grows older
a splendor in willowy green tights
waving beneath such star-spangled nights
robed and worshipped everywhere she goes
a fantasy that everyone knows
enveloped in velvet, purple and green
with damp jewels of dew glistening,
reveling in her majestic innocence,
unaware of the hearts she has broken
Iris, though bearded, is the flower of all dreams
Explore the mystery of how nature makes unexpected gifts of creative wonders to an unsuspecting caregiver one late night and early morning in southeastern Georgia, USA.
