Blue Iris was photographed in
Stanley Park - situated close to Stokes Bay seafront, it is
Gosport's largest formal park and is well known for it's
colourful flowers and enjoyed by locals during the summer
months as they play games and have family picnics.
According
to Gosport borough council's website the gardens are believed
to have been designed by Sir Joseph Paxton who is perhaps
better known for designing the Crystal Palace for the Great
Exhibition of 1851.
The
grounds at Stanley Park were originally split between two
separate properties: Lord Ashburton's "Asburton House" (later
renamed as "Bay House" and now part of Bay House School, and
the author John Coker's "Alver House" (now known as the
Alverbank Hotel).
The
grounds of both properties were sold to Gosport Borough
Council and 1943 and became the temporary base to the Royal
Engineers for the duration of the war. Bay House School opened
in 1949 and the rest of the grounds later became the Stanley
Park we know today.
Several
authors say that the name Iris is a reference to the wide
variety of colours found among this species with it's showy
flowers, and is taken from the Greek word for a rainbow, which
is also the name for the Greek Goddess of the Rainbow. |
