CarolHB,
Someone actually stole your plants? The audacity! I know people steal but seriously, I would have been both sad and livid. I probably would have scoured everyone's yard in the 5 mile radius, swearing about my ( your) freesias.
I'm not retired but if there's one perk to being unemployed at the moment, it's my garden. It snowed here day before yesterday, so my garden is largely indoors or in seed form. Even going out and raking and pruning, getting g all the things ready is a joy unto itself.
Hemsworth, that is such a beautiful flower <3 Have you given any thought on how to maybe duplicate the situation? I know it's not the same as a special garden suprise but they are/were so lovely. I'm glad you have pictures. It's sometimes all we have in the end.
KAbby, That's so sweet and lovely. I went up to my mom's house to get some ditch lillies and even though they aren't of the same botanical caliber as Iris, I know they'll live forever and I'll always be reminded of my momma when I see them, so I understand the notion well. It's a beautiful one <3
I'm so terribly sentimental that all of your tales have gotten me all touched and misty, lol
I'm still looking for my bush but I have to hit finish on this before I hit the back button and lose it all!
