my grandmother's iris

Post by mrtoad »

this is one iris of the few that i have from my grandmother's iris garden - i think the color is very light lemon - maybe it is white - have no idea of the name - she grew iris between 1950 and 1963 -

pretty flower and beautiful memories

That sure is pretty! I can remember seeing iris in my grandmother's garden too. They were mostly purples... Great that you have them along with the special memories. Thanks for sharing.

Very pretty!

I really love those older varieties. There is a lot to be said for the classics!
