Re: Are you an iris fan, fancier or fanatic?

 These have been too good and so many hit close to
home...

  The day I knew I was lost to irises...The entire
family had been to church..me in white pants, black
high heels, dressy top...I found myself out in the
iris bed pulling weeds..Irises had finished blooming
but I had to check on the news one I had planted a
week or two back..
