(Left: The return of Ron's bush; my double-flowering kerria, a member of the rose family, seems to be happy in its new home.)








(Left: Purple bearded irises, buds and bloom.)


(Left and below: A patch of native miniature irises. I originally found these growing along the Little River in Durham County just before the area was to be bulldozed to make a new reservoir. I rescued their ancestors and have been carrying some with me from home to home as I have moved. These seem quite happy in the shade of a large oak tree and under the mulch of its fallen leaves.)
