Great story Bookreader!
So thats what your looking for huh Andy?

Ok..... My Grandmother loved gardening and had 2 little plots at camp that she used in the summer. One was for veggies and the other was for her flowers. I spent the biggest part of the summer at camp so I helped tend those 2 beds. In the vaggie bed was all the veggies she would need to make us those wonderful dishes that I still dream about.
In the flower beds she had lily of the valley, iris's, johnny-jump-ups, roses, ect.... When I was 11 G.father had a stroke and was diagnosed with cancer, they held onto the camp for one more year then decided to sell it. Before selling it I went and dug up a few flowers to bring home to my parents house.
Later after I grew up and my Dad had passed away my Mom decided to sell the house. Before she did i was outside digging up those iris's & LOV to bring out to my house. I was 27 then, im 49 now....i've been taking care of these iris's for over 38 years and this was it this spring. Two of my DD's have piece's at their house's and they know the story. Nothing fancy or even pretty but it has HISTORY!!
