The Rainbow Flowers

Artist Bobby J. Jones creates a photo book about Irises. This particular flower is one of Jones' favorite flowers. He grows Irises at his house in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Bobby's interests for this flower goes all the way back to his childhood when his paternal grandmother and maternal grandmother grew these flowers at their houses in Texas. There is a family story behind the Irises that grew at Bobby's maternal grandmother's house in Lubbock, Texas. Bobby's aunt Margaret Brown Johnston transplanted Irises from his great grandmother's (Mary Addeline Watts Brown) house on 28th Street in Lubbock to his maternal grandmother's (Sue Morrison Brown) house in Lubbock, Texas.
