Hi DND (and all!)
My new love is Japanese and Siberian Iris, but I am in love with all TOO many flowers (perennials!) I have been working on a backyard project for 3 yrs and surprisingly I have filled much of my garden space in that short time! I have a few more japanese and siberian iris I traded for last year (small starts) and they have grown, but have not bloomed. Lost some over the winter.I have a bunch of "regular" iris. I love them when they bloom, but I think I need to incorporate them in with my other beds so I dont have a large non-blooming space in the "iris garden".
I love the photos with the seed trades, but have not gotten to the point I can coordinate that.
Have a great day, everyone,and stay cool!
