rare October Iris'
My wife and my neighbor have been pestering the dickens out of me, to go an have a look see at the neighbors Iris'. Still blooming after several frosts and a couple hard freezes. Well, I finally did tonight, but my neighbor thought it was too dark. I said to her, "that's why I brought a flashlight" I did not want to use my flash, because it would wash the whole flower out. So I stuffed the light down into the foliage and had at it. We are gonna have some wild winds and bad storms tomorrow, so I figured, " I better get these shots tonight!" There is a story and maybe an explanation as to why these flowers are still blooming. My neighbor's, husband's best friend built a small wishing well for her when he saw those lovely Iris' a couple years ago. Well just last month he passed away (Hubby's best friend) and they figure that he is living around that well keeping the flowers alive. All my Iris' have been done and cut down for at least 5 weeks..........NGE
