Senior Moments

Queen Dorothy Iris, Fairfield Glade. October 9, 2008.

We had another iris bloom this week.  Queen Dorothy, the re-blooming iris shown above, had bloomed in the spring and has honored us with another display.

About half of the iris we have in our flower beds are re-blooming, and we enjoy the autumn displays since we don’t have a great many other flowers in bloom in those beds this time of the year.  We’re hoping that we’ll have even more blooms from these irises during years with more rain.  The drought has been hard on just about everything.

One other thing about this iris.  Betsy thinks we should change the name from Queen Dorothy to Queen Betsy.  What do you think?
