Gay Parasol
April 12th, 2010 
Irises are my favorite flower, in case you can’t tell from all the iris patterns.
I don’t grow them very successfully (and don’t know why) but I love them, not just the iridescence in the petals but the fragrance too. Usually Silverado and Edith Wolford make an appearance but I think the one other plant with a bud is another Gay Parasol. I have several kinds that have never bloomed, and probably wouldn’t know what they were at this point.
I'm really glad that I found your website. It's great to finally be able to stitch something that I would actually like to hang on my wall. All the other patterns out there are a bit too cute for my taste. The products you offer are absolutely beautiful.

14 years, 7 months agoLOVE the irises! They are my favorite, too, and mine are budding up and about to bloom; my neighbor has blooms all over already! I can’t recall ever seeing so many blooms here before the first of May – my Dutch iris haven’t even bloomed yet, they are always done before the Beards come out. Weird year already…
