(Yellow Flag Iris - 01) On 31 May 2004 we spotted two clumps of yellow flag or yellow iris growing along the edge of Sleepy Hollow Lake with other wild flowers and grasses. This was the first time in our 31 years of being here that we have seen a yellow iris. This is the only species of yellow iris that grows wild. Yellow iris grow to heights of between one and three feet.

Presented here are just a few of the countless components of God's creation.
Just as we cannot have human and animal life without water and plants, neither
can we have lasting peace without love and compassion. It is our hope and
prayer that this series will motivate people to live and act in a cruelty-free
manner; that we would no longer hurt or destroy each other, the animals or our
environment.
