Irises for Aaron

Irises in front of hangar 2

Aaron loves irises. He tells me this every time I post pictures of flowers on my blog.

It's so beautiful and sunny today that I couldn't resist going outside and walking around on my lunch break. I started to take the trail though the woods on the northwest side of campus, but it was closed.

So I walked over towards the woods on the east side of campus... before I got there I saw these stunning irises. They looked so nice next to the rocks and little spruce cones on the ground.

There is a native Oregon Iris (Iris tenax), although I have no idea if any of these are that particular species.
