Broad-leaved Iris (Iris planifolia). |
After a couple of painful and stressful days It was good to get out again, back on Friday I had a nice day up on Sierra de Loja with Anita but when I got home I realized that I had lost my Wedding Ring at some point during the day and my back was hurting like hell so I did not go back up to look for it straight away.
