Lovely iris. I just love your pics of Bonjour (but I am partial to that one, as you know).
So sorry about the loss of your friend.
On a up note, you are the proud poppa of Dynamite. Your NoID you sent me is a NoID no longer. I have taken comparative pics along the way that I will post after work.

That is one of the hardest things about getting older. If you live long enough you will lose that special childhood friend, your first sweetheart, the person who was your secret keeper and perhaps the one who mentored you when you were just spreading your wings. You may be the only one left who truly remembers them but as long as you remember their name they are not totally gone. If you are missing them enough that you feel sadness it is a compliment to who they were and what kind of life they led. Glad you shared here, Tom, so we can acknowledge their worth in your life.
Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?

Bonjour is a beauty. I have ordered Route 66 too Leslie. So many of the vendors or selling out of the little guys. Perhaps more people are growing them.

It's what I had suspected for a long time, glad it's confirmed.
