First iris pics...

Post by Garden_of_Mu »

Spring is well underway, and even though I am currently digging the irises up and potting them I'm seeing bloomstalks everywhere. These are always the first to open. a very small MDB of unknown origen. My 'iris garden in exile' will be on display at my friends Rod & Carla's place. They have over 1200+ irises. I'm hoping my 400+ pots will just blend in. ;)

Mike, you say you are digging all your iris up. Are you moving or remodeling?

With your extensive gardens, your back must be aching.

The iris I got from you last fall are all looking good. There are even quite a few with buds. Hope your hostas are doing well also.

Yep, moving. I was quite sore for the first week, but we've been at it for weeks now so I am back in gardening shape. :)
