Leaving the Iris

I have visited the iris this morning. The show will continue for several more weeks. I will not be here to stake and deadhead. They will survive.

Immortality
Thunder Echo
Banana Frappè
Little Much
Night Affair (smells like grapes)

When I return in May the double peonies will need staking. They cannot hold up their heavy heads in the rain. They will survive.

I will be helping plan my mother’s memorial service this week. It will be beautiful. My sister will make sure of that. We will survive.


No…better.  We will thrive,  because we have been loved and tended to by the best parents on the planet. Watch and see!

  1. Tough times for you, Flower Roberts, I’m sorry. I’m glad all your beautiful bearded irises have given you inspiration for surviving and appreciate you sharing their beauty and strength with us. Good luck in the tender days ahead.
