Worth the Wait

My son Asher chose this iris out of hundreds on an iris farm 3 years ago.  He chose it, and I purchased a piece of the same plant, brought it home and planted it.  It failed to bloom the past two years. I was afraid that we had lost it.  Well, much to our joy and satisfaction, it showed it's beautiful face this year! What I love most about it is that Asher was 7 years old on this iris farm covered in iris flowers of every imaginable combination.  Hundreds and hundreds of showy flowers.  I told him that he could pick any one he wanted.  He chose this one because he said it was "pure".  It's petals and beard were all the same color.
