first iris

[boxofdelights]

Aiko has a small dark bump on his skin. They're doing a punch biopsy now. We probably won't hear the results before Monday.

Beautiful iris. Holding you in my heart for the biopsy.

Thank you.

Our first iris was today, as well. I hope Aiko is okay.

Thank you.

Best wishes for doggie health!

My first iris bloomed today, too! But unlike yours, which looks like silk and velvet, mine is the iris that looks like pork chops.

Thank you.

Did you take that iris with you when you moved?

The meaty iris actually came with the new house. But I did move an iris from the old house that never bloomed the entire 10 years we lived there (someone had put it in deep shade). It *still* hasn't bloomed this year either, but there's always hope for next year!

I'm running out of botanical mysteries. The clematis at the front of the house that didn't bloom last year finally bloomed this week, and it turned out to be a pretty standard medium purple. There are also three peonies here that haven't bloomed yet. They were all in too much shade, but we cut down a dying tree last summer, and that uncovered one of them. It has two buds now!

I'll be thinking of you and Aiko.
