Hi, Lynn. This is my first time here. I came over because Chris (goldfinch4) suggested I tell you about my Aunt Kitty.
She had a cottage on the Niagara River and tons of Irises plus just about every plant I can think of. I was fascinated by what she did with her "hens and chicks." She stuck them on the bark of her trees and they grew there quite happily.
She died many years ago and the cottage is in someone else's hands now. I wonder if she left them out all winter or brought them in. I wonder if they are still there. I wish I had taken pictures of them.
