Oh my goodness, how beautiful! Are these from your garden? That iris is my favorite....not that the rose isn’t beautiful, but I love iris! My mama always had so many in every color. Cars would stop by the side street of her house to view them. When someone would ask for a start, she would get her shovel and dig it up for them. I hope she is surrounded by iris’s in Heaven today!
Thank you. Yes, those are from my garden. This one is also. It is one of my favorite roses, American Dream.
I love irises too. I don't have many, just a cluster of about 25 blooming in the corner of my yard. They are all the same variety; purple. I just wish their blossoms lasted just a bit longer. Just like with my lilac. It is so beautiful, but the flowers only last a few days and then it is just a green bush the rest of the summer.
I hope your mom is surrounded by irises too. I hope my grandmother is surrounded by lilacs and violets, her favorite flowers. :-)
