Fading Iris

I bought these iris about 2 weeks ago, and they've been on the mantle slowing drying out. I'm not ready to throw them out, though, as I think they have a new charm as dried flowers!

We had sleet and hail today! No gardening, but did manage to do some sewing on my Tudor-era clothes. I hope Kentwell survives and is able to reopen at some point in the not-too-distant future.
