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.
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!

They are 30+ years old. They must be cleaned 2x per year and divided every three years. It is a lot of work but I share them with friends. I love seeing them in other gardens. My living legacy!
