bluegrassmom - thank you ;) I agree about the pics - I really enjoy to look at them, it's very helpful for picking the right plant
About my garden - I can't wait that the roses that I planted few months ago start to bloom!
MileHighGardner - thank you too! That's good to hear - I'm really a total beginner with irises and I really cant wait to have them in my garden :). What worries me the most is how to prevent rotting and choosing the best substrate for my raised bed. I think the best choice would be that I buy a good substrate - soil for them, mine in the garden has a little too much clay in it I think.
froggardener - thank you too
