Irises and Peonies

The first of my Auntie Bea's heirloom irises to bloom this year and my peony almost open.

My father's sister, Bernice Celestine Cornelison Lowry gave starts to my parents before she died in 1979. Somehow I ended up with these. Whether they would be jugded heirloom in a scientific sense or not, I'm not sure. But they are heirloom to me.
