I love all the different textures in the slime, Clytie! Hope your niece's surgery went well. You asked about the iris leaves - yes, they started out green, but the freezing temperatures have caused so many freeze/thaw cycles that the leaves have turned this colour. They are dead, and the roots will send up new ones come spring. Since I cut mine back, I don't get this effect.
As life changes, I find myself far from what my dreams had imagined. Reality has found me caring for my elderly mom who is sliding deeper into Alzheimers ... every day has become a unique challenge. The best I can do is to try to life as normal as possible for those around me.
Oh, wow! That first picture is beautiful--who would have thought slime could be gorgeous, eh?
