So you think they're suffering from altitude sickness? Or is it "attitude sickness"? I like it!

And by the way, love your photograph.

I think that's the answer. The air up high is getting to them. Well, one couldn't remember where she put her purchased irises and almost ended up taking mine.

Love the pic!

Maybe they can't count, Lucy, that could be their problem. OK, enough nastiness from me. I'm just getting sick of trying to explain something to them and getting poo poo'd because I'm not a judge.

We love continuing ed here.

The society is ok. Just when you have a small amount of people any wrong way rubbing is worse.

How are your feet today, booj. Have they recovered? Nice shot of the auction. Other people should know that the tent is pitched every year & then the owners use it as an outside shelter during the fall.

Excpt that they use ecelsior which DH hates. They always send good plants, we have delt with them since Paul started the business. I think that you will enjoy that bright IB.

Beautiful combo. Now I never would have thought of the purple and orange together. Keep in mind if any of them are medians, they probably won't bloom with the TBs. They might overlap, but probably not.

Polly - I had no idea... I am just learning mid late early... etc... I before grew Iris still a lot to learn. Trying to get the beds filled with early early, early, mid, mid late, late, and rebloomers.. praying in zone 7 some of these will rebloom maybe!
