This was Mother's favorite van Gogh painting. She had a framed poster print of it in her bedroom. I asked her why it was her favorite. I knew she liked flowers and we had irises in our garden, but she said it was because he included that one white iris on the left and one that has a bit of white on the right. She said she thought those two were Vincent and his brother Theo.
I tried to write a poem about that but I haven't gotten it right so far.

Hmmm, I guess I never encountered this type of magnolia
Banana Shrub (Magnolia figo), what it lacks in bloom size it makes up for in scent, citrusy bananas with a sort of cantalopey note...

I have always thought there should be a show of Vincent's oddest paintings. I'd put this one in that show.
Of course, I still love it.
