More gardening stuff....

Lifted and divided three of my German irises today. The "Dover", the "Starship Enterprise" and...that third one whose name I can't remember. Left the variegated and the Siberians in the ground.

Will split up the Starship Enterpise and the Dovers, to take some to family in Dallas area during/after Fencon. Free irises, YAY! ;o)

Now that I know how they grow, I will completely re-do where they're planted in the yard, particularly since the Starship Enterprise grew to about 5 feet tall. It was in front before, and you couldn't even see iris #3 over it. (Little 3 footer). So much to do in fall....

Something killed my Starship Enterprise. :(

Really? Do you have to lift them for the winters there? (Sorry, I have NO clue how cold it gets there).

I have no Starship Enterprise irises. Have a picture?

They get VERY tall if they don't get as much sun as they want, so I'm going to have to move them anyway.

Thanks.

Those are beautiful.

Looks like they're fairly hardy, actually.

You want a few?

I would love some. Have a source?

(I'm afraid I don't have much in the way pf perennials to trade, unless you're hankering for some snowdrops. Those, I have in spades.

And a good crop of forget-me-nots, but they're rooted, not bulbs, so I can't imagine how to mail them in a manner they would survive.

I can't grow FMNots down here. Too hot.

A source? The things propogate like bunnies....I'll slip 3 in the mail this week.
