My grandmother loved flowers. As a child of 10 or12 I mowed the lawns up and down my road if I mowed and you had iris it became part of the deal I collected her 14 . she died 20 years ago and I came for a keepsake of thimbles ID gotten her from around the country as she was an avid quilter it was spring and the iris were in bloom they left with me. I have since brought the iris back to the old home place each year I add more and hope she can see them. My favorite one is a white from no later than 72 I'm told by local irisarians it came from a local hybridizer in the 60s it has a modern form I had never thought to breed with it but last season caught a seed pod on it. This season I intend to use every bloom most likely with haunted heart.
