Walking Iten's Acres: Legacy May 11, 2014

Mom left me a legacy at The Acres. Myriad of iris from her place. And day lilies galore.. A lifetime supply of phlox. Wild ones, too. And a rose, a lilac bush, a red bud, a dwarf conifer, a cedar, a couple Rose of Sharon, a dogwood, some grape hyacinth--even some of her violets made their way here from South Carolina. A few, I'm sure, could trace their way back to St. Louis. And--it's only fitting--more Love-in-the-midst than you could ever count. The rock garden was her idea. The white iris bed by the pond as well. Yes, it's always Mother's Day at The Acres.
