Last Call, Iris. See You Next Spring

by Jon Katz

Irises are especially beautiful, but I know they won’t last long. I’ve been fortunate to take pictures of this beautiful flower for several days now, but I see she is closing up and preparing to die, at least for this year.

The plant is going into Maria’s garden. Tonight we are tarping all of our flowers; the temperature is supposed to drop to 29. I’m especially concerned about the beautiful poppies, which are tall and handsome.

This morning I have a Zoom meeting with some of my blog readers; they have become good friends from all over the country. After that, I’m off to the dentist. More later.

My kidney stone experience has been much more interesting than I thought. I’m not sure I want to write about it in detail. I’ll see how it feels to do that; I think I can be discreet and dignified.

My rule is to write about it if that can be helpful or useful.

Thanks to the iris and your kind letters about the iris photos. That means a lot to me.

  1. I would find it useful and helpful to hear what you want to share. You are rational but feeling about these experiences. I’m curious to hear what “interesting” connotes to!

  2. You are bringing flowers alive in a wholly new way. When our many feet of snow finally melt, I look forward to looking at our high Sierra flowers with a new and appreciative eye. Your photos make me downright giddy.

  3. I feel like I could walk right into that beautiful photo and enter into a brand new world.. .and I’m 109% sure I haven’t made a similar comment.
