I had a "when you least expect" the other day . . .
Original Iris would be 60 years old . . .
She is still blooming . . .
You can see her here in bloom, not sure what year this is.
This was such a gift to receive from you Judy . . .
Thank you . . . THANK YOU !!
Love ~
Lynne

Hello, this iris is one of my favorites too. What a lovely story and memory.
Happy Sunday, enjoy your day and the new week ahead!
Such a profound and memorable unexpected moment for both of us, my friend. The picture of the infamous purple iris is breathtaking...your Mother in bloom. Love you, Judy
I love this. Not long ago, my friend in France sent me a thank you note written to him by my mother after the two of us decorated our family home for Christmas to surprise her when she returned from Mayo Clinic. He kept it for over 40 years. I think it means as much to me as to him.
I love your iris.
It is just magic!

What a lovely story :)
Thank you for sharing this story, Lynne. I love Japanese iris but don't have any in my yard. One of my photography friends shares pictures of hers every spring. They're a gorgeous little flower.
oh Lynne, this just made me cry! What a wonderful gift
That is wonderful! I feel blessed to have starts of your purple Irises, too. I will send you a picture when they bloom next year. Thanks for sharing this special story with us. :)
I love this. It's stories like this that remind me of the beauty in the gift of flowers. And because this gift has such a legacy and history, makes it all the more special and beautiful.
The circle of life... of love. Beautiful story, Lynne. Possible through your beautiful soul. blessings and hugs ~ tanna
I thing something to be planted in the garden is a wonderful gift, I once bought someone an Azalea, which has since reached a large size.
All the best, Gordon.
You mother's love grows in the most amazing places.
Very moving story of the loving connections between people, Lynne...Memories...
I have your wonderful flower too. It loves it here and has multiplied enough to share with others. Truly a gift that keeps on giving. Thank you.
The good you do often comes back to warm your heart...
