I received word today from Vi's son David that she died on December 30th. Don't have any other information, but told him I would take care of notifying us here and on the Iris Cubit. I have his email address. If anyone wants to send him a message, treemail me. Violet Polmanteer stetchworth It’s okay to not know all the answers. |

She will be missed! Thank you for letting us know, Debra. Sad news indeed when we have lost a member of our ATP family. 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? |

So sad to hear, it was nice that she was able to visit England this last summer once more. She was so excited to get some irises planted last summer and was looking forward to seeing them this spring. Sad indeed.

Oh -- I'm crying. Vi and I shared Irises and other things. This past fall she gifted me with two Irises -- my choice -- from Schreiner's. We were already talking about what Irises I would send her next summer. This is terrible. ![]() ![]() ![]() Thoughts become things -- choose the good ones. (www.tut.com) |

I am so glad she kept her iris dreams and was looking forward to the future bloom season. I am sorry for all y'all that knew her well and will miss her most. 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? |

I posted the notice on Cubits, too. Most of us go to both sites, but some only visit the Iris Cubit. It’s okay to not know all the answers. |

![]() One fond remembrance I have: We had a running joke, because when I would get an envelope from her it always made my cats go crazy. They would rub themselves all over her envelopes but neither of us found out why. She would always let me know when another "cat attractor" was coming my way! ![]() "The chimera is a one time happenstance event where the plant has a senior moment and forgets what it is doing." - Paul Black |

Vi was rightfully proud of her son, David. Here she is with him at his military retirement ceremony.stetchworth said:Well got over being sick and have done my taxes so back to normal life, here is the photo of my son like I said I would post. This is me pinning on his retirement pin. It was a great ceremony room was packed with family, friends and military personnel. He got several awards, I was so proud.

I'm so glad that her son let us know about this. Otherwise we would just be wondering what happened. Voltaire: "Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities," |

I treemailed her Christmas week because of the storms out that way and because I hadn't seen her posting recently. Was about to send paper mail or call when her son answered me this morning. It’s okay to not know all the answers. |

Those of us who post regularly on the Daylily Porch Swing thread have sent our contact information to a couple of members who volunteered to be coordinators. If one of us doesn't post for awhile--usually about two weeks--and doesn't answer treemail, then a coordinator either emails or calls to check up. Something to think about.

That is very sad news! I didn't know Vi well, but enjoyed her informative posts. I'm glad she had her health to the very end so she could continue doing what she loved. I hope I can keep growing and enjoying my irises until the very end of my life. I'm sending prayers for comfort to her family. Rest In Peace Vi. |

I was going to post a picture that she sent me of the iris garden she made with the ones I sent her, but I can't figure out how to get it moved to here. ![]() Voltaire: "Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities," |
