Saying GoodBye to The Iris Lady - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

“By the time I was fifty-three, I thought I was all grown up. After all, I had duly celebrated all of life’s coming-of-age milestones: first day of school, graduations, first real job, marriage, births of my own children…each duly noted with cards and flowers, maybe even balloons. But, as I discovered that fateful year, none of us are really and truly adults until our last parent dies – and we find ourselves at the head of the line.” - Marilyn Smith NeilansLouise C. Smith of Williamsbug, Virginia was known fondly as "The Iris Lady" during the 1980s and 90s. An avid grower (30,000 plants in her extensive gardens) and hybridizer, she wrote articles for the American Iris Society and other publications, wrote her own charming booklet "Growing Beautiful Tall Bearded Irises in Williamsburg, Virginia", and conducted classes in hybridization. This is the story of her last days with her family at her side.
