Cherry blossoms are in bloom, the smell of Spring’s sweet perfume
Breathe deep the smell of nice fresh air, as the Spring wind plays with your hair
Is there anything more beautiful you have seen, than Spring meadows lush and green?
“I don’t have ducks. I don’t have a row. I have squirrels, and they’re at a rave.”
Iris, most beautiful flower,
Symbol of life, love, and light;
Found by the brook, and the meadow,
Or lofty, on arable height.
You come in such glorious colors,
In hues, the rainbow surpass;
The chart of color portrays you,
In petal, or veins, of your class.
You bloom with the first in Winter,
With the last, in the Fall, you still show;
You steal the full beauty of Springtime,
With your fragrance and sharp color glow.
Your form and beauty of flower,
An artist's desire of full worth;
So Iris, we love you and crown you,
MOST BEAUTIFUL FLOWER ON EARTH!
- Edith Buckner Edwards (AIS bulletin January 1961)
