My Grandma's Flower

Looking out my back door today, I saw a perfect iris...probably my favorite spring flower.  It's not just gorgeous, it makes me think of my Grandma Opal, who had so very many growing here, there, and everywhere at her house. It makes me think of running around outside at her house while she and my mom dug them up for starts for my mom or for others or just to thin them out.  I'm not totally sure if this particular one originally came from my grandma to my mom to us, but I know some of them we have growing in our backyard did.  It's good to have this connection to her even though she's been gone for nearly 12 years.  It brings her back clearly in my mind just looking at a flower she enjoyed so much.
