Did you know that the Iris get its name from the green word for rainbow?
Think about it Thursday…
The first Iris bloom in my yard showed itself this week… This gorgeous flower is a wonderful reminder to me that much is happening in the unseen world… So much if the iris work is done underground most of the year.
An iris blooms for just a little while each late spring/early summer and grants the the word the gift of color, fragrance, nectar and beauty. Each iris stands tall even when bloom begins to wither and this miraculous plant then retains its strong green all summer, getting itself ready for the next years bloom… The iris needs at least a half a day of sun and well-drained soil. Without the sun, the iris won’t bloom. They prefer fertile soil that drains well, and they grow best in groups of three.
The iris has a unique way of holding its space in the word. It is super resilient and can be dug up, divided, moved and shared… so much happens under ground that we never see… Our lives are like that…#legacynowlived I will be thinking a lot about the iris today… #walkyourtalkwithLeAnne
