Grandmother's Iris
Couldn't wait to go outside today to see if the Iris was open yet. She's not fully open yet but pretty close. Last year when we took a sniff, she had a sweet lemon scent. This year, we questioned whether it was grape or lemon. We knew the scent but couldn't put a name with it. It really wasn't grape or lemon. Then, all of sudden, we remembered. Now, this is going to sound crazy and perhaps tell our age .... but do you all remember candy cigarettes, not the bubblegum ones, but the chalky ones? That's the smell!
So, here are a few photos from this morning. We will post more once she is in full performance.
