Last Sunday was Easter and I made my way to the nursing home to visit Mom. I clipped a few iris blooms from the yard and arranged them in some water, before I went. It was good that I took these blooms, because she enjoyed seeing some of the plants she had put in the yard where she lived until we put her in the home. I took some that were going to open later, because iris don't last long and I wanted a few to open for her the next day.
