Right now is peak iris season. As usual, I went to Indianapolis to visit my sister and peruse her iris. We wonder the fields surrounding her house and admire the iris and try to make sure they all have identification tags. We look for ones we haven’t bloom in a long time. They are likeContinue reading “Iris Season”
