Hi, all. I'm new here. Been lurking for awhile, until this evening. I have a big problem with deer and groundhogs. But I've noticed that they never seem to eat my irises. So this spring I decided to go with the flow, and order more irises. I put in about 8 new siberians, and just finished ordering and planting 8 new tall beardeds. I have a 9th on order still, which I had somehow unintentionally missed ordering. It'lll probably arrive tomorrow.
So, I am still in the "kid stuff" category, but I think I have what I want. I already had Dusky Challenger, Beverly Sills, Bubbling Over, and Absolute Treasure. My new ones are: Swingtown, Pacific Fire, Lady Friend, Vanity, Daugter of Stars, Paul Black, Sapphire Hills, Mary Frances, and Pond Lily. Good ones - mostly Dykes or Wister winners, I think. I have to be very choosey about what I put in, because I have a postage-stamp quarter acre. I think these will all go well together. I am avoiding gold, yellow, brown, and near-blacks.
That's about all I can squeeze in, because I do want room for my other companion plants.
If I take away the replacements for the dead ones, then I think I may drop into "Pretty messed up" group.

, in the future, if you might post the general area you live in such as 8a durham, n.c. this helps if you have questions, for example, about reblooming irises in your area ,or problems with groundhogs, or where to buy a certain fertilizer, etc. then we can suggest or chime in our $.02 
for finding and joining in the camaraderie.
