Well, I potted up my Iris today. Didn't want to chance it in ground this late in the season. They were easy to pot with only 1 fan each. Guess I'm used to daylilies as I was looking for a "bonus" plant, but didn't get one. That's OK really. I don't have room for any more pots......I sure hope Batik flowers more in a pot then in the ground as some have reported. I do appreciate the heads up though. I wouldn't be potting Iris at all if it weren't for the Batik I saw so many years ago. It was magnificent......Thanks for the information on other broken colored Iris and some fragrant ones too. I remember the "wild" fragrant ones around the older homes when I was a kid. Fragrance like Grape Soda Pop. I may be tempted on that one some day.......Maryl
