[Leica] Friday Flowers SonC

[FRANK DERNIE]

I love Irises, we have loads in our garden. I have no idea where they originated though. I am a member of Oxford University's Botanical society and was in the botanical gardens earlier today. It is astonishing how many plants were "collected" back in the day.

 Yes, and we have the spider lily and tulip magnolia originally Asian, I believe. 

There are four irises John Audubon described as native to Louisiana.  Carolyn Dormon (whose papers we hold) was an energetic cheerleader for the iris.  It is our state wildflower.
