From the Archives: Flowers in Our Yard



Our Floor Show Iris is a re-blooming iris; it blooms in the Spring and then again in the Fall. This picture was taken on November 4 of this year.

And aren't you missing seeing those beauties live? One good thing about freezing temperatures is there is less yard word!

I found some flowers purple yesterday and thought may be it is an iris, cause they look like my walking iris I had in Singapore.

I like your wreath with the lights on. Is it the one with cones which I told Betsy I like the cones?

Wow - I am trying to imagine an iris blooming around HERE that late in the year! it is good to see blooms when around here the blooms gave way to "gloom". I also like the wreath in your heading.
