NATIONAL IRIS DAY

Irises flower
purple bearded blooms ready
for a spring time trim

   Today is National Iris Day and my web search suggested the holiday originated in Japan.  So the day calls for a haiku.  I hope you enjoy this one.
I'm going to have fun trying to draw some irises to go with this poem.  Can you try writing your own iris poem today?

    Joy,
    I like the humor of a beaded iris getting a trim. Clever. I moved some irises this week, due to a back porch remodel I'm excited to be getting done. Mine were deep yellow. Pretty!

      Thank you. As always, when I'm worried that my humor may be a little obscure, you get it. You have no idea how helpful that is to me. I do appreciate you.

    Such a cute idea -- the beard needing a trim. Thanks. Hope you have a Happy Mother's Day.
