My grandmother's name was Iris and since her birthday was May 26th, 1902, I can only assume that my gr. grandparents chose her name because the iris were in bloom in their garden on the day she was born.
I can't see these beautiful May blossoms without thinking of her. I don't have nearly enough photos of her, but in this old photo, she is holding my brother and am wearing a plaid shirt.
She shaped my life and instilled in me a love of nature. She taught me the names of birds and flowers and let me help plant the garden.
Since I lived just around the corner from her my whole life, she was my best friend throughout my childhood and she taught me to cook and it was all the stories that she read to me that caused me to grow up loving to read books.
She lived to see all three of my children and delighted in being a great grandmother.
When the iris bloom I bask in my memories of this woman who was such an inspiration to me.

What a beautiful set of iris photos including Iris 😉 Based on your posts you seem to have been an important part of some young girls lives, this is the best thing you can do to honor your grandma's impact on your life 🙂
Your grandmother is more beautiful than iris, isn't she?
Some people are so dear to us because of the love and efforts they pour in us to make what we are. They always reside in our heart and keep on reflecting in our characters.
May God rest her soul in peace
Thank you for these kind and thoughtful words. You expressed how I feel perfectly!

Such a sweet story of your Grandmother Iris and how these spring flowers remind you of her.
Thanks! Iris hybrids have come such a long way. They have little resemblance to the old farmstead varieties of my grandmas days!
Iris (Ίρις) in greek mythology is a female messenger of the Olympic Gods. It was like archangels in Christianity! As always, nice post!
I visited Olympia in Greece, and vowed to learn more mythology, but somehow never have. I must now read about Iris!
Wow
