Last Spring my brother-in-law and I were doing yard work and discovered a clump of mysterious bulbs in the back corner of our yard. Not knowing what they were or why they were in such a strange place, we eventually decided to dig them up and transplant them to a little flower bed along the back side of our house. Over the past year I have watered and watched them, waiting patiently to see what would emerge from the bulbs. I wasn't sure anything would ever become of them, especially after finding out from my mother, "you don't separate bulbs in the spring!" Well even after another one of my gardening mishaps, everything turned out okay. The flowers, which turned out to be a red-violet colored iris, have been blooming non-stop in the past few weeks adding some much needed color and life to our back yard. It was a long wait, but definitely worth it!
