Spring Flowers Barbie

Spring Flowers Barbie

Siberian irises are among the earliest blooms in my garden.  They are lovely mauve flowers with yellow accents on the petals.  They are the perfect flower for people who don't have green thumbs.  Siberian irises are resistant to soft rot and iris borers.  They are hardy to Zone 3 and don't fall down in the rain like peonies.

Barbie's dress is a light mauve with yellow/green beading on the collar and drop waist.  You can't see the pretty trim at the bottom of her skirt because I am not a photographer.  I realized as I perched on my makeshift seat that I kept posing Barbie with a telephone pole growing out of her head. (You can still see the pole on the left).

I did try other angles and vantage points but Barbie has little patience.   I noticed her smile was increasingly plastic so I had to make do with the shots I had.
