Arlyn, aside from loving your historics, I'm also always in awe of every glimpse of the most picture perfect, tidiest, most completely weed free beds I have ever seen! You're actually Martha Stewart aren't you?

Boy I wish I knew how to do that. I get so attached to every one of them and I can't *get rid* of them. It's so bad that a couple of years ago I threw away a clump of rhizomes that I wasn't particularly fond of. I threw them on the manure pile. A day or two later, I saw blooms on the manure pile -- and had to walk out there and take a look. Of course it was the Irises I threw away -- and they looked so pretty, all by themselves where they were not competing with fancier Irises -- and they looked so forlorn laying on the manure pile and trying to be beautiful.............well, you know what happened. I climbed on the manure pile and rescued them and replanted them.
