I think I got an ID on this little iris last year but someone walked off with my marker. I think it may have come from grannysgarden along with Blue Pools. I think it is so cute.

Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.

Thanks Tom! Too bad so many kids walk by my house as they are going home from school. A lot of my markers disappear.

That's a good reason to have a map of the bed, or at least a picture that shows the markers. (Says the guy who's woefully negligent in getting that done!) Whistling

What a great looking iris. I'm giving up on markers, either they get pulled out or become unreadable.

I have found maps are saviors when tags go walking. I agree with Tom that it's Route Sixty-Six.

Bury a second marker under ground?

I agree Buried marker is a good idea.
Of course I talk to myself; sometimes I need expert advice!

Set up your inventory list using the database. I have chickens and squirrels and many missing markers. I also have a poor memory so when I get a bloom, I check my list for a match. I also added notes to my list like where and when I got the plant or where it's planted. I created separate lists (see my profile) instead of one master list as it became too big.
