Irises, A Stream & Mom
The scene in today's picture could easily be in a park somewhere, but it isn't.
It's actually just a stream running through Greeneville, TN with some irises
growing on the bank beside it. Irises are common around Greeneville - you can
find them growing almost anywhere around town, even in the most unlikely places.
The iris has always been one of my favorite flowers, probably because it was one
of my mom's favorites. We lived in several places when I was growing up, and mom
almost always had several clumps of spectacular irises growing in the yard. Each
spring would bring a bountiful crop of purple iris blossoms contrasting
perfectly against the lawn's lush green of early-spring.
Even today, Mom still has plenty of purple irises adorning her yard. When my
brother sent me this picture it brought back memories of old and reminded me of
a special gift we share today... our precious mother and her ever-present flower
gardens.
