I selected these irises because of their link to opera, and they are in my opera corner.
Beverly Sills (Born, Belle Miriam Silverman) (May 25, 1929 – July 2, 2007) was an American operatic soprano known for her coloratura roles in opera.
I love listening to her, and especially to her duets with the Swedish tenor, Nicolai Gedda (1925-2017).
Their voices blend perfectly.

And Nicolai Gedda singing “Ah fuyez douces images” from the opera “Manon”. In my opinion it is the best ever performance of this aria.

Beverly Sills was one of my favorite people in the world of music...I was happy to find this beautiful Iris and grow it...because it was named after her...such a delicate pink.
Tell me if you see the intersection of Highland and Manhattan Avenues where my friends and i played ball all summer.
Home plate was one house away, almost front of, Beverly Sills house. She was a few years older, was very beautiful, and had gorgeous long red hair. It was before air conditioning. All windows were open, and we could hear her practicing for hours.

Explanation about quote on hard work
When you take shortcuts to achieve your goal, you wont be able to enjoy the successs after you reach the goal.
Hard life quotes about our life journey towards our goal. Happines can surely be discovered always from the rebound of hard work in your life. Let us be grateful to Adam who cut us out of the blessing of idleness and won us the curse of labour. Hard life quotes written by Mark Twain. The irony is that no man actually loves his work for itself. They do work in life to get something or to get to a place worth going.

Rest in peace.
This was taken during the Met HD Broadcast of I Puritani on January 6, 2007. Beverly Sills was a guest commentator appearing during the intermissions, and she was a hoot! What a sad and sudden loss.
We stopped in Placerville proper for lunch at Subway and this quote was above the entrance of the business next door.
