When we first moved to Tennessee, I found out that the Iris is the State Flower and I was delighted. Moving from Texas, I knew I was going to miss the Bluebonnets every Spring, but now I get to look forward to the unique and ruffled Irises of the state we now call home. My kids and I also learned the State Song shortly after moving here and every time I see the Irises start to bloom, I hum a little tune...

When It's Iris Time in Tennessee 

by Willa Mae Maid 1933

Sweetness of Spring memories bring
Of a place I long to be.
Land of Sunshine calls this old heart of mine,
Come back to Tennessee.
 
Rocks and the rills deep tinted hills,
There’s no spot so dear to me,
Where’er I roam still it’s my Home Sweet Home,
My own, my Tennessee.
 
CHORUS
 
When it’s Iris time down in Tennessee,
I’ll be coming back to stay
Where the mockingbird sings at the break of day
A lilting love song gay.
Where the Iris grows,
Where the Harpeth flows,
That is where I long to be.
There’s a picture there that lives in memory
When it’s Iris time in Tennessee
