For poet Mary Oliver, nature is full of mystery and miracle. From the excitation of birds in the sky to the flowers and plants that are "the simple garments" of the earth, the natural world is her text of both the earth's changes and its permanence. In Blue Iris, Mary Oliver collects ten new poems, two dozen of her poems written over the last two decades, and two previously unpublished essays on the beauty and wonder of plants. The poet considers roses, of course, as well as poppies and peonies; lilies and morning glories; the thick-bodied black oak and the fragrant white pine; the tall sunflower and the slender bean. James Dickey has said of her, "Far beneath the surface-flash of linguistic effect, Mary Oliver works her quiet and mysterious spell. It is a true spell, unlike any other poet's, the enchantment of the true maker." In Blue Iris, she has captured with breathtaking clarity the true enchantment and mysterious spell of flowers and plants of all sorts and their magnetic hold on us.

Welcome to the world of the dammed, the forgotten, the left behind. Born into a world condemned by Lucifer and without God, Ainsley is traumatized, afraid, and hunted. Her life is an unending storm of sorrow, fear, and grief, and its almost more than her eighteen-year-old soul can bear. Orphaned at six, she has every excuse to give up. She is also the last human alive, and her experience is about to become even more incomprehensible. She meets an angel named Gabriel, one of the most loyal angels in Gods army. When he meets Ainsley, his heart breaks for her suffering. Unable to bend to his Fathers will, Gabriel finds himself falling in love with Ainsley. He is willing to sacrifice anything and everything for her, even if the cost is his soul. Condemned to earth for his disobedience, he is exposed to carnal nature for the first time in his eternal existence. Subjected to desire, lust, and hunger, the fallen angel not only has to protect his love from demons, he also has to protect her from himself. But Lucifer also desires the young woman for his own selfish, prurient needs. As the sole female human in existence, Ainsley is the only one capable of producing his unholy heir. For this reason, he will stop at nothing to obtain her for himself. But God has an agenda of his own as well

Being a combination of conventional diary entries and transcripts of videos shot by the author on the camera she was given for her 13th birthday, and beginning at the end of summer. Bluebell Gadsby is 13 but that's the least of her problems. Both her parents seem more interested in their careers than the family, leaving Blue and her three siblings in the care of Zoran the au pair, as well as their three pet rats (who may or may not be pregnant). The enigmatic Joss moves in next door and Blue thinks she might be falling in love, until he takes out her older sister Flora instead (who, incidentally, is trying to make a statement by dying her hair bright pink but no one takes the blindest bit of notice). Blue thinks and feels very deeply about life but can't really talk to anyone about it, because no one in the Gadsby family wants to address the real problem - that Blue's twin sister, Iris, died a year ago, and they are all just trying to hide their grief in busyness... So Blue turns to her diary and her unique way of seeing the world through her camcorder to express herself. A tender, funny, smart and ultimately heartwarming story.

The diversity of bearded irises rivals that of any other perennial grown in temperate climates. For some gardeners, they bring back warm memories of a grandparent's garden; for others, they're a cutting-edge plant with a seemingly endless capacity for producing new forms and patterns. As the manager of Rainbow Iris Farm and co-editor of the Bulletin of the American Iris Society, Kelly Norris is the authority on gardening with bearded irises. His introductory chapters offer tips for successful growth, garden design, plant selection, and "creating" new irises. A Guide to Bearded Irises also provides portraits of the most outstanding plants in each of the six recognized categories, from the dainty miniature dwarf bearded irises to the stately tall bearded irises. A resource section lists specialty nurseries, organizations devoted to bearded irises, and public gardens with notable iris collections.
