When I started blogging about a year ago, one of my first posts was about my mom's irises and how they didn't bloom the spring after she died. Well, Craig moved them from the back yard to the front in hopes that we might just save them. So I'm posting now to say that there definitely is life after death. They bloomed beautifully this year! I was so happy! These are the first pictures, when only the yellow had bloomed. Since then we have enjoyed white and orange flowers as well. This is probably the nicest time of year here. We are making the most of it, for we know the wind will begin soon...like today...and blow all my flowers away. Oh well!

Reading your blog reminds me of my grandmother. She lived here in Vegas, and she had prize winning irises in her backyard! I need to find a picture of them:-)
Those are beautiful!! Didn't grandma have the prettiest flowers!?!
They look great, Aunt Ruth. I'm so glad you were able to move them and have them bloom this spring. So many things remind me of Grandma and flowers definitely do.
I saw your yard the other day and thought it looked beautiful but didn't say anything. I am glad to her the story of the irises. Tha is truly something special.
