Ida’s
Notebook
Ida Risser
Due to the plentiful moisture
this summer, there are many
kinds of flowers blooming at our
house. When I look out the win
dows, on any side of the house, I
see flowers.
The front comer of our yard
has a pink and white rose of sha
ron bush that is covered with
blooms. Next comes a few strag
gly hollyhocks and then some
tiger lilies. The rose bed is next
followed by a bed of calendulas.
In this bed are my saffron bulbs
which will only appear in Octo
ber. But, I keep the ground
weeded all year as they are spe
cial. Saffron is one of the most
expensive spices. My daughter in
Atlanta keeps me supplied with
the dried, red stigmas.
My garden does not have only
vegetables but also an array of
flowers. Usually they are as
signed a corner of the garden.

but this year, when a row of
beans did not come up, I put in a
long row of pink and red cosmos.
As they were planted late. I’m
hoping they won’t get so tall.
Behind our house is a big hill
and here are several flower beds.
One has iris, one has day lilies
and the other is planted with an
assortment of bulbs. This morn
ing the cannas are topped with
enormous red blossoms. And
next to them are several elephant
ear plants.

Along the road are a few red
geraniums and one white one in
a small grouping around two
large stones. I think my flowers
are every color of the rainbow.
