    A seedling that has lasted for many years growing in a gravel pathway - near the edge
 
  of the path so it has escaped the yearly herbicide spray, and I think perhaps Dick
 
  likes the cheerful little blooms in early spring.

    An iris given to us many years ago, it has multiplied well and is always the 
 
  first to bloom.  Some "altered reality" applied to this particular image & the petals
 
  supply the abstract pattern.
 
  Just freshly opening
