    google search,  heritage iris and this was first…among other pics from Etsy for         iris seed.      seed.      iris seed.   ?   i realized i'd never thought before about iris      seed.   always those mystically beauty FULL rhizomes,   asking for propagation,  asking to be broken apart….the sound of that…the snap

    next on search a blog post from  2-13-2017 American Iris  Society     Growing Iris From Seed    Tom Waters

    and for whatever reason,  i realize i want to try it.   not for something like the above,  but just to witness it…the growing of an Iris from seed.   and it's creating a life of its own….i'll grow iris for Jenny,  her new home.   There always have been iris except here      so far

    for her porch whose house will have a yellow door.   Now,   a yellow door and purple iris,  the old purple,  delicate,  whispery

    about the 3 kinds of Oak at this Hill.  about an incredibly  great tictoc my son's woman sent me about migration,  how this leaf magically appeared as illustration of that       and then       i guess he got bored by the failures of his domestic policies and

    bombed Iran

    it's almost more than i can bear,    whatever that might mean
