IRIS V

Last year when the annual "gardening" occured across the street at St. Ambrose, they pulled up bags and bags of iris and placed them at the curb to be hauled away.
I went over and brought a bag home. Gave some to neighbor Jerry, planted some in my garden, and when we both ran out of room, I scratched around in the dirt in the two small squares in the alley that we had previously tried to clean up.

They seemed to feel right at home (but of course, why wouldn't they...they've been living in the neighborhood for a long time!)


Another great example of "blooming where planted". Being moved from the churchyard to the alley might be considered quite an injustice, but if anything needs a bit of beauty, it would certainly be this spot. Another lesson from the flowers? Maybe so
