We could distract him with the bobcat, or a flock of turkeys..... but he had a lot of losses last year so we should hold off until his gardens fill up again. Big Grin

My first ever Iris I bought a year ago Iris germanica 'White knight'. Since I'm focussing on white and blue/purple colored flowers I wanted another white Siberian iris. I came across a lovely one with some yellow named 'Snow queen'. Together with the aforementioned there's a chess theme developping :p And every queen needs some knights haha

I always loved the beards on Witches Wand. I see it all the time in the Schreiner's catalog, and have somehow not yet bought it. Sure looks pretty as a clump.

It does look pretty in a clump. Schreiner's is where I got it and it didn't bloom last year. Fingers, toes and eyes crossed for this year!
