It's been a few years now but Iris is back, looking more beautiful that ever.
Iris on Mothers Day 2010
It was in the summer of 2007, when Iris, having been ripped from the only home she'd known and kicked to the curb, found her way to me. I welcomed her in, cleaned her up, and gave her some fresh soil. I didn't have a permanent spot for her to stay at the time, as her arrival was quite sudden.
In 2008, Iris was showing some recovery,with some new, healthy growth. Still in her temporary accommodation, news was that a more permanent home was just around the corner.
2009 brought some setbacks for Iris, a recent renovation left her a little worse for wear, being walked all over and garbage thrown at her.
Early Spring 2010, Iris is looking strong and healthy, in her 3rd year here, she's getting settled and really putting down her roots.
Mothers Day weekend, and Iris is back, a real star in my garden, and just to think only a few years ago she was unloved and unwanted, well I love you Iris, and you can stay as long as you want.
Time to make some Mothers Day flower arrangements, I went around the garden and cut some of the best flowers that were available today.
Lily of the Valley
Rhododendron "Jean Marie de Montague"
Forget-me-not
"Basket of Gold" Alyssum
Variegated Euonymus
Purple Columbine
Lilac "Mme Lemoine"
Curly Parsley
Arrangement for my Mother In Law
