My husbands work relocated us many times over the years, but my favorite iris always came along and never let me down. We are now retired in NC; our grandson Jesse is now serving his country in the U.S. Army; and, next year will mark 25 years of sharing this prolific bloomer with fellow gardeners in six states! I rejoice as the 'song' plays on.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674461137690378952.post-24222007629248570872014-05-21T16:09:46.985+12:002014-05-21T16:09:46.985+12:00I bought an iris at a garden shop without any idea...I bought an iris at a garden shop without any idea of its color because my father was Jesse and the iris was labeled Jesse's Song. It was totally gorgeous and over the years I shared rhizomes with many friends, who enjoyed them as much as I did. Each Spring I would get emails that Jesse's Song was blooming in their garden. When I moved from Virginia to Mississippi I brought one with me and it graced me with its beauty for nine years but this year there was no sign of it. My garden will not be complete until I have this spectacular iris in my garden again.

I h...My friend's daughter's name is Jesse. I have a Jesse's Song iris along with over 200 other varieties. When I work in my garden and see the Jesse's Song I think of her daughter. She was born with physical challenges, but has overcome them and risen to the occasion. She is an intelligent, beautiful, educated and independent young lady now. I took my friend's favorite Bible verses, Isaiah 40:28-31 (which reminded her of her daughter) and had them engraved on a plaque/plant stake with Jesse's Song engraved at the top. Now when my friend walks her garden and sees the plaque she can not only think of her daughter, but she can read the Bible passage.Shallymarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04097833165191067037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674461137690378952.post-56792516377465933432011-04-11T09:47:22.845+12:002011-04-11T09:47:22.845+12:00A few years ago, a beautiful white and violet iris...A few years ago, a beautiful white and violet iris bloomed in my garden.It was absolutely beautiful and I have no idea how it got there!I showed pictures of it to the local greenhouses but nobody could tell me the name of it.I posted it on facebook and one of my friends looked into it.It is a Jesse's Song!Everyone who sees it comments on how beautiful it is and I look forward to it each year.Darcel9303noreply@blogger.com
