IRISES

STIGMA BUSTING CHALLENGE
NATIONAL ALLIANCE ON MENTAL ILLNESS

SPRING IS HERE !!!

Give a package of Iris bulbs to a neighbor or friend with a note:

The Iris is the symbol of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) in recognition of the many contributions of those with mental illness, as represented by Vincent Van Gogh's painting of Irises during his hospitalization for mental illness.

What a lovely thought. Do Irises grown in CA? I don't think so because we don't get cold enough climate... but I will find out... and if they do I will do as you ask.

Have a great day. I hope that you and your dear hubby are doing well.

Love, Lura

One of my favorite paintings and artists!

Lydia thinks that since it's spring, she can wear t-shirts and shorts! Even if there IS snow on the ground!

Love you!
