Somatic Language Tool: Presby Iris Gardens

Soon the irises will be up.  Here is a very partial list of some of the unique names of some of plants from the Presby Iris Gardens' beds 14a and 14b, which include top award winners since 1927. There are about 3000 different iris names in the garden, so a visit may be a good poetic somatic experience.  Try picking a couple of these names because of the words themselves and work them into a poetic statement, or metaphor and add it to our community poem on google docs.  Of course, you do not have to use them as iris names but as words in full or in part, by themselves.  Thanks to Debbie Cohen, Office Manager at Presby, for this list.
