MY FAVOURITE FLOWER

  A few weekends ago  Jen and Tyler took advantage of the Christmas toy sale at Target to lay by things for Jackjack.  So Jack jack came to play cars and toot toots with Nanny and Papa for the afternoon.

When Jack jack hopped out of the car he had a beautiful surprise for me.  It was a single stemmed Blue Iris which had two open flowers and another four closed buds.  Whenever I have received an Iris before it has been one flower on a stem.

This little gift from Jack jack lasted almost for two weeks.  As one of the open flowers died another one would open.  Each open flower lasted approximately 3 days.  So in total  from one stem I had six flowers to brighten my days.
