I Love Irises!

My favourite flower, actually.







Which Flower are You?




You are an Iris:You are logical, analytical, dignified, and wise. You are studious by nature and may prefer books to people. You tend to be a serious person but are capable of making others laugh with your dry sense of humor. Friends always benefit from your advice.Symbolism: Over the centuries the iris has come to symbolize faith, wisdom, hope, and promise in love.

I like Sterling Roses, they're the litte pale mauve ones. You might be noticing a theme in colour here... [g]

LOL.. an affinity for purple - that is just a wild guess. For flowers the more colors the better, just the blues, purple, yellow, salmon, clustered together.

When I was at the botanical gardens in Memphis, they had a rose garden, and one of the roses was called Black Magic. It was the most beautiful colour I've ever seen. My brother found it in a rose catalog and is going to plant it in my portion of the garden at the house in Utah, so when I move, I'll have my very own rose bush. He also got me a gorgous Bougainvillea for outside my window.

ohhh.. you will need to post pictures.. it sounds lovely - I guess I could not be lazy and actually google it.

I love Bougainvilea.. they remind me of my grandparents for some reason.

I have a photo of the one in Memphis, but it doesn't capture the depth of the colour at all.

The second one is close. They're really velvety with a blackish purple tint when the sun hits them. Sort of like a cross between velvet and shot taffeta.

cool.. I know my apt has roses in our garden, I will need to see if any are that dark. Is it a 'new' variety or a pretty established one.. and yes I should google it.. I am a bad google girl.

purty :)

Again! It took this quize and got the same result! What is with that? Apparently, we are long lost twins or something. Very odd.

Maybe everyone's an iris, because that's what I got too *lol* the description isn't too far off though :)
