The summer flowers seem so far away when snowing is falling this evening and the predicted rain tomorrow won’t sprout blooms when the ground is frozen. There are 325 species and 50,000 registered varieties of irises. The iris earned its name from the ancient Greek Goddess Iris, a messenger to the gods who was thought to use the rainbow as a bridge between heaven and earth. On a winter day, a picture of an iris is a bridge to summer.
