I just try to enjoy seeing how fast they are growing, and trying to determine if they will grow enough to bloom the next year. The veggie garden is producing now, and that keeps me occupied trying to keep up with it all. So I'm somewhat distracted from thinking about the irises. Funny though, when winter comes and I start looking at all the iris pictures, I think I want them all and start adding them to the wish list. Then bloom time happens, and I start looking again at the wish lists, and I start thinking, "Now why did I add that one?" So I can cull the list some, then when the new intro's start showing up, I go crazy again, and want them all, but budget keeps me more in line, but not really as in line as I should be!
