A lovely yellow-and-white iris has started blooming in my front yard out by the street. The mystery of it is that I did not plant this! I have several other kinds of things I've planted in this section of garden over the years, but I never would have gone out of my way to pick *that* color of iris. So where on earth did it come from?
Maybe it piggy-backed from another planting when I transplanted daylilies many years ago? Maybe the previous owners planted it there ten years ago and it's just now coming up?? Maybe my neighbors or someone planted a couple as a surprise??? Did I plant it but completely forget about it???? I'm grasping at straws, here, because there is really no clear reason for it. There are plenty of other plantings in the same area, so why this, now?
Eh, maybe it doesn't matter where it came from. Whatever the reason, it's a delightful surprise and looking glorious.
Now I'm thinking, hmm, ya know, that's a nice variety... I may even need to put in a few more to plump it out the stand.
So, thanks, Universe for the unexpected gift. Pretty cool.
