Sherry, our property here is pretty much landscaped (so there's not going to be any digging of beds in the front, though I suppose I can squeeze an iris or two in), and we have tons of shade. So it is going to be challenging finding places to put these irises (hence, the "what was I thinking"). I've still got daylilies in pots, partly because I have no good space to put them! (Plus our soil here is largely hard clay, not nice loose sandy soil. Nowadays, if I want holes dug (except in certain fortunate spots where the soil is looser and better), I mostly have to point my garden helpers at it.)
Our picnic is on Sunday, and that is where I pick up my other two door prize irises (the PCI was a take-home-that-night prize). There will be an auction; I will try to resist - unless they have 'My Beloved'. Then there is our rhizome sale (sometime in August, I believe), and I am hoping there will be PCIs at the club meetings this fall. Being dappled shade dwellers,
those I believe I can find a spot for (though I am still figuring out where/how to lay out the two that I have in hand, and the ones that I have on order!).
Leslie, thanks for the thumbs up on 'Fratello Sole'.

, they've got tons of interesting iris there at Winterberry. The colors (in the photos, at least) of some of his SDB irises are amazing.
