I have some deep purple Iris blooming right now in my little yard and to my delight - three of them on one stem blossomed with white lower petals and purple trimmed in white in the center. It's amazing. Miraculous to me really. What happened in the soil over the long rainy winter months to create such a hybrid? I'm constantly in awe of nature.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09846671491951240837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330030209576515508.post-77212992375022943662016-05-03T09:30:56.380-05:002016-05-03T09:30:56.380-05:00Oh, completely safe.

Makes us sound like mole people! The danger is more in becoming cavalier about it and being taken by surprise when one actually touches down. With global warming the ones that do touch down are so wicked---Joplin, Greensburg. That is a lot more scary than when I was a kid.Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03485338098212307793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330030209576515508.post-22109887110934146282016-05-02T23:06:08.884-05:002016-05-02T23:06:08.884-05:00Another vote for how awesome it is that you helped...Another vote for how awesome it is that you helped your student like that.

So glad you successfully found a Lion to get the glasses for the child. They will make a huge difference for him.<br /><br />Irises are the only flowers that came with this house when we bought it. Those things are hardy! I dug them up a couple of times to separate them, and last year I moved them all over the yard. No blooms this year it seems, but I'm expecting to have a gorgeous yard full of iris next year!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330030209576515508.post-21296601322105363652016-05-02T06:35:41.984-05:002016-05-02T06:35:41.984-05:00I'm glad you could help your student.

I first saw those iris' and I thought you had painted it. I was sure you were going to say you worked on in while dodging tornadoes in the basement. It looks wonderful. Spring is slow to come to the Northeast. It's sort of spread out in patches like the good weather.

I remember when my little sister got glasses for the first time, she was amazed that it was possible to see individual leaves on trees. What a difference those glasses made for her, and will make for your student!Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14136276061114462192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330030209576515508.post-83362693763662760302016-05-01T21:36:13.386-05:002016-05-01T21:36:13.386-05:00I think it is a result of strain as you say.
