These bring back memories fo my mom's too.

My mum always used to grow them too, these day's she likes to move around too much to grow bulbs so I always grow extra so I can give her some as cut flowers.

That's nice of you Wolf...making sure she still gets to have them...I remember as a child walking along the road and finding wild irises and daisies, I picked them every spring to run home to my mother with...I would put them behind my back and make her guess what I had..she always guessed rock first, then stick, then flowers...I would be grinning like a goon the whole time..when she got to flowers I held them out and she would exclaim over them like she hadn't a clue...

They've just finished flowering Marguerite. I think I have to delete the photo to turn it around, so I may just try again to get it facing the right way and upload it again.
No the photo is actually at my dad's house, I dug up my Iris's and took them with me in pots as I didn't want to leave them behind.

That photo there is this years crop in their big tub on the front porch, unfortunately they are now finished for the year. I put my hyacinths from my hyacinth jars in there so next year will have bulb spectacular hopefully. I thought about planting them in the ground but as I'm still staying with the folks I think they can stay in their tubs until I find my next house.
