until i read the final chapter of ulysses i always thought that these were shapes, like a tetrahedron. it doesn’t have the name of a beautiful flower idk who came up with the name but they must’ve liked polygons
irises have sort of been a recurrent motif in my life i guess. every spring they blossom in front of my building in our communal pots. i think they’re so lovely because their shape is quite unique. when i was little my mom also used to wear an iris perfume which i looooved (which i now got for myself). i also have tattoos of irises which i drew hihi 🤗
I love most flowers but I felt very drawn to these classics this summer. Now that summer's over, they're dying and becoming these gorgeous deep burgundy and white wine colors. They're like magical, fluffy Dr. Seuss plants to me
