Iris week x 4

Posted by Robin on 8 May 2020 9 Comments

First, irises at three gardens: RBG's Laking Garden in 2019, then, Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden at the end of April/early May, and Santa Barbara Botanic Garden in April. Then we've got Cocktails with Iris (Apfel). She will mix her own drink, thank you very much.

    Hahaaa, “nobody’s objected yet.” Gotta love Iris Apfel.

    Thank you for the giggle Robin, and happy birthday to your kid sis. ?

        That would be great. With an outline of the round glasses on the T-shirt along with the phrase.

    What’s bothering me the most about wearing a mask on my walks (aside from that suffocating feeling and overheating) is not being able to sniff all the irises that are blooming now. ?

      And how cool is that gardener guy dressing up for Halloween as that Count Dracula iris! ?‍♂️

      I love “black” irises, but never one with a deep orange beard like the Count Dracula. ?

      I am not a fan of mask wearing. Glad to do it, want to do it, but yeah, it is not comfortable at all. I suppose we’ll all get used to it.
