OK, here is my stupid thing, not exactly part of growing iris but I am a little ticked off at myself I just had to unload here.
A couple of days ago I did some major fall clean-up, filled up two large green bins, stuffed real tight, rose clippings, perennials clippings, stuff I didn't feel like adding to the compost, etc. I came across a recent gopher chomping damage on a favorite iris so I dug up what was left of the rhizomes and set them on the pathway to move them to another location. I continued with clipping, tossing them in a pile on the pathway too and then raking everything up in a pile to add to the bins. Can you see where this is going?!
I took the bins out and went back to replant the iris, only it was no where to be found.
It's somewhere stuffed into one of two large bins. I could have pulled everything out to find them, but by then I was exhausted, it was almost dark & I didn't even know which bin they could be in or how far down it could be. Now looking at the picture of it, I am sad, what a silly mistake. Oh well, I still have lots of pretty ones.
