My Long Awaited Lousiana Iris....

i have had it for years...err them i should say...as the one rhizome i was given by a faraway friend...from the US...years ago has produced several others...but none have produced any flowers up to date. Yesterday while sitting at the window facing the pond, i noticed that my old Lousiana Iris looks like as if it was about to produce a flower stalk.... aahhh could it be true...can i believe my eyes....??! But it was very late afternoon... approaching evening and maghrib was near...i promised myself that i will check her out the next day....and this morning i went to the back of the house 'armed' with my 'mobilephone-camera'.....n here she is... a sight making me deliriously happy....


..and i wonder if the others will follow suit in the near future....i really really hope so....
