John,
The following poem is in the archives and can be found by using the
author's name Georgia Gudykunst. Georgia is a good friend and past
president of the Sun Country Iris Society of Phoenix Arizona.
An Iris Blessing for 1996
May your blooms be floriferous and in good form,
Distinctive, with good substance, flare, and airborne,
With standards and falls that endure, never torn.
May you display many buds and blooms sublime,
In graceful proportion on strong stalks each day,
Gently floating above the fans and the fray.
May you too reach toward the moon and stars,
Bloom after bloom, many seasons in the sun,
Enjoying your life, health, and each loved one,
Until your 'living days are artfully done.
By Georgia Gudykunst
