Painting of The Wright Flyer Iris by Jean Butler
Garden club member Jean Butler was visiting fellow garden club member Genevieve Klyce who had an iris in an arrangement. The iris was The Wright Flyer, hybridized by Horace Wright (who lived near Bellbrook), the nephew of Wilbur and Orville Wright. Jean painted the iris and permitted the club to use the image. Jean passed away in 2010. She was married to Harry Butler who was a renowned horticulturist and local TV broadcaster. |
