You probably have the following poem but here it is anyway.
One of my favorite iris related poems I found in an old catalog of
"Green Gate Gardens 1931" which used to be in Bennettsville, South
Carolina. The owners name was Gabrielle Drake McColl. The poem as
follows:
"The garden with its little gate of green,
Invites you to enter, and view mysteries unseen,
Its vine laden bowers and overhanging trees,
The air filled with sweetness, the hum of the bees,
The flagged walks with Iris galore,
Of most beautiful coloring, unknown before,
Pink, white, purple, yellow, azure blue,
Mixed and mingled of every hue,
You come away wondering, can more beauty be seen
Than in the garden with its little gate of green.
-Winstead.
