Iris Out Back

My wife used to work as a gardener and brought many beautiful flowers home to plant in the back yard. It's not easy to tend any sort of garden around our house because the mosquitos are quite bad. 

You're thinking you know what I mean, but no. They are pretty bad.

So when the person that came to mow the field one year, in his boundless ignorance, mowed down all the flowers she had collected, it was very discouraging, and the project was abandoned. These iris are the only remnant of what used to be. It's still a treat when they bloom.
