    I love the iris! I think Tennessee's bird and flower are my favorites of these three. I'm really enjoying learning about each state's picks. :-)

    This is a great series--so many beautiful birds and flowers. You mentioned that you were looking for a J for Anni's challenge. I was just noticing some large flocks of birds migrating north by our place yesterday, and I would bet at some point in their spring and fall flights, the flocks would form a J--though it would be hard to catch at just the right moment. It will be interesting to see what you do find.
