The title of today’s entry, literally “Sword Lilies”, is the German name for the flowers we call Iris. Today’s photo, like the previous one, was taken at the Nice botanical garden yesterday afternoon and shows a bunch of blue lilies (note that I’m not going too far out on a limb in making this claim). The garden occupies an area of 3.5 hectares (8.6 acres) and is located on the aptly named Corniche Fleurie in the western part of town. It is open to the public free of charge every day and is home to an impressive 3,500 species of mostly Mediterranean plants. But, I hear you say, surely the plants in a botanical garden are all labeled! Ah, that may be, but I never looked at the labels. Some people like to live dangerously...
