July 4 8 pm: A friend just left the San Diego Fashion Valley theater and said he was asked for identification by #ICE officers at the trolley station. Also- the mall is deserted.
He says they’re hanging out near the transit station at the southwest corner of the shopping center.

It’s iris day!
All these irises came from one cutting 12 years ago.
Now they’re all over the garden, and all open on the same day.
It’s a lesson in “carpe diem” - these flowers are “1 day wonders” that will be gone by sunset.
One plant produces a few flowers each year.

If you want the essence of onion flavor in the smallest delivery package, grow onions and harvest their tiny flowers to add to sauces, salads, and sautéed vegetables. (No chopping or teary eyes necessary.)
