When I visited the Tera Greenhouse in our city in the fall of last year, I was immediately attracted by the beauty of the flower in the name tag.
The clean, crisp white flowers with a violet ruffle edge, as well as a yellow cross in the middle, gives a soft yet spectacular effect. No wonder it has a pretty name: Dinner Plate Tiramisu Jananess Iris.
I bought it and planted it in our front yard after right going home. This spring, I was waiting eagerly for it to bloom. But I didn't see any bud showing up even when other iris finished blooming. I thought maybe I planted it too deep. I was thinking I might need to re-plant it this fall.
To my surprise and excitement, I saw three buds at the beginning of June. After searching on internet, I learned that Jananess Irises normally blooms later than other Irises, in early to midsummer.
Yesterday ( June 18):
This morning before I went to office ( June 19):
This evening after I came home ( June 19):
Pick up two and put in a glass bottle:
過了幾天（ June 24），又開了一朵，這大概是今年的最後一朵了。要下雨之前把她請回了家。一朵有些孤單，有摘了幾朵正開的hybrid tea roses.
周末在家裏做了一個不太成功的紫薯米糕。第一次做米糕，沒有嚴格照食譜。家裏漏篩的空太小了，不能用。
還多一點薯泥，加些米粉，麵粉做了一些脆餅。這是因為看了杜鵑作的“玉米麵，白麵和山藥泥做的煎餅”。沒有山藥泥，就用紫薯泥。我用小烤箱考的。又看了一遍杜鵑的帖子https://bbs.wenxuecity.com/romance/967542.html 發現杜鵑用鍋煎的。下次有了山藥泥再做一次。
Thank you.
Enjoy the Summer!
