Sample Submission

• Title: Siberian irises and drumstick alliums in bloom
• Location: Crescent, PA
• Plants pictured: Siberian irises, drumstick alliums
• Description: My favorite flower in my garden is a Siberian Iris. Purple is my favorite color, but what I love most about these flowers are the memories and stories they bring to mind each spring when they bloom. These flowers came from Irises originally given by my grandfather to my mother over 30 years ago, when he helped her plant them in her garden. My mother dug up extras from her garden to share with me—and even helped me plant them in the rain!
