Glad to see you liking the little guys Mary Ann! They really extend the bloom season, they are the season openers, and they are really hearty!
Gotta Share this story, Today I was out weeding and cleaning up beds in this really nice sunny day. Well, Bagheera, my cat saw me on my hands and knees and had to come and investigate. Of course he wanted to play and gets in the way, then starts rolling on the irises, so I had to pick him up and put him out of the bed. After a while he got bored, and climbed up onto my back and layed down to sun himself! He must have stayed there for 20 minutes until I had to get up. Honestly, I wish someone would have come along with a camera. That would have been quite a funny picture for sure, me on my hands and knees, and the cat sleeping on my back.
