This is a tough word choice this close to Mother's Day, because of course it brings to my mind my own Mom.
It is impossible to narrow it down to one photo.
So I picked one that represents so many things.
These irises have moved with me to at least 5 different homes. They are from Mom's garden in Auburn. I smile every spring when they show their delicate blooms.
They remind me of purple butterflies!Happy hunting y'all!

Beautiful irises and a wonderful way to remember your mother. My mom loved yellow roses and I planted a yellow rose bush in my garden which makes me think of my mother.
Very nice! Happy Mother's Day!

Sandi, I am so envious that you had the foresight to take plants from moms garden and then move them with you each time! I would love to have a memory like that for my mom, whom my post is about, along with my recently passed brother...those Iris's are just gorgeous! My hunt is up please come and visit soon
How wonderful that you have such a beautiful reminder of your mom.
My mother also loved irises. She called the 'flags'. Beautiful pictures.
what a lovely way to remember your mom. have a great Mother's Day!
I am with you...Many years ago my mom and both grandmothers left this world...but you can find their beauty in things such as this...
I attended the 'Iris' festival yesterday while working, what glorious beauty they hold!
Oh my - your flowers are just lovely! Pale purple is my favorite color. :)
Have a great week!
So beautiful. I agree with JyLnC - any shade of purple will do.
I participated on Saturday as well.
That's a lovely flower. Belated Happy Mother's Day.
