My mother had irises in her garden which I loved to see. So this speaks to me in a visceral way. Coming from San Antonio and all the earthy greens and floral colors makes me grateful we can count on spring arriving soon. It was good to see you there, Mary Lee. I can't wait to get my hands on the books you shared! Some I have but others were new to me. Thank you!
