Hi there grannysgarden,
You are so welcome and I thank you too for your very kind words! This makes me smile that you were able to connect with this story and share the experience through my words. You are so right about the iris being a constant connecting all parts. For me, it is not only the iris but the lilac. The very first flowering plant I fell in love (besides the dandelion) was the lilac. I could not get over how something so wonderfully fragrant came from a tree and my mom got excited when I bought her some for her kitchen vase.
Home again. I like that. :)
Thank you again and I wish you the very best!
Take care,
Benny
