Torpedo Jar.......


I brought a new cutting of iris from the old place yesterday.  They were placed in an old jar and transferred into the canning jar.  We have a grey day because of the rain so I placed the flowers in front of the sliding glass door to get good lighting for the shot. The old canning jar was called a torpedo jar because of its shape. It is an old jar from a house that was later torn down after I had collected it. .

It isn't a bad jar to decor flowers! Nice placement for shot

It's a very nice jar, especially with those flowers in it.

Thanks to this post and your explanation about the torpedo jar I was able to identify one at the auction we went to last night. Not only was I able to identify it, but I was also able to come home with one.
So thank you for the post!

These are beautiful iris and a pretty jar. I have not heard the phrase 'torpedo jar' before. Thanks for both the beauty and the information.

Very nice photo. Love those beautiful irises, especially in the natural light.

  The flowers are getting a gentle rain this morning.  It  makes the soil and sub soil happier as our drought is less these days.
