A few years ago, Karen dug up and divided her iris bed.  She gave me a bucket full of iris corms.

 

Iris are planted shallowly, practically on top of the ground.  They don’t like their roots buried.  So I placed them in my wild garden, which is fenced so the deer can’t get to anything.

 

This is the first time they have bloomed.  They are gorgeous, and they smell divine.  If I were to choose any iris from a catalog, this is the one I would pick.  I love it!!!  Thanks, Karen.

 

Momma planted iris behind the garage, and they always bloomed around my birthday.  One year on my birthday, she brought me a vase full of iris to Sunnybrook.  It made me so happy then, and the memory still makes me happy.  

 

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
