I'm Paul Smith. I live in Pleasant Grove, Utah, about 50 miles south of Salt Lake City. I'm a retired small business owner. My wife and I have a son and a daughter, two grandsons and one granddaughter. I grew up in a home with parents who loved flowers and I inherited that passion. Over the years I have had many changes in what I liked but currently my favorites include all classes of bearded iris, hosta, and roses. I'm lucky to be a member of an active iris society here and to be able to chat on line with friendly knowledgeable people and view many gorgeous pictures of gorgeous iris.
