Withered Charm

While walking along Alvarado Drive in a northerly direction, a group of irises in a wilting condition captured my attention. My 07/23/23 postcard showcases one of these iris blooms, losing its color and petals. These changes are fascinating because they have a unique shape and unpredictable appeal.
