The Perfect Pink Iris


209

We went in search of the perfect Iris today.  You've seen my purple irises and my yellow irises… and my gorgeous pink crinum lilies.  But we are in need of a special Iris.

I just happen to know just where to go to find the perfect Iris….with the help of Lillie Louise!

So off we went winding our way through the beautiful Texas Hill Country.

To visit our old friend Ann Debo and sitting right by her is Iris!  A perfect Iris!  In this picture from left to right is Iris,  Ann, and Grandma – Iris mother and Lillie Louise grandmother.

Aren't they cute?  Little bookends…Iris and Lillie and I think they are perfect and I'm just dying to tell you that we're a two dog household now!  Lillie's mother and Iris were littermates and Iris has had several  litters herself but she's done with her puppybearing years and she's ours.  Lillie is thrilled and Iris is a bit shy with us but I think soon she'll be just fine.

Hope you enjoyed my Pink Saturday offering – go visit Beverly at How Sweet The Sound  who is our PS host.

xoxo – Nancy, Lillie and Iris!  I am dead tired tonight so this post  may contain exxors!!
