JoAnn, I love your collages. What a great idea!
I swore off ordering any iris this year since I lost so many last winter. Yesterday I got a box full from the Kitty13 cubits coop, and now I'm wanting to build another bed!
I've never ordered from Keppel or Superstition, but people in my club and friends from Region 18 just love them. Pretty much every year for the last several I've ordered from Snowpeak and BlueJ. Who all is still taking orders? If the heat breaks...meaning gets back down into the 90s sometime soon, I may be able to do some dividing and planting. Oh how I would love to get some newer lacy ones. I love love lacy pink and orange ones. Our club has a special pink art glass award for the best pink at the main show. Someday I'm going to win that. I didn't get to show a thing this year...had knee surgery and barely even got out to see what survived the horrible winter.
Maybe the heat's a blessing. I can spend the extra time before planting making a photo diagram the way JoAnn does, and then I wouldn't have to rearrange them after they bloom!
Does anyone else just plant alphabetically? Or make sentences with the names? Or plant theme gardens with the names? Creates some wacky color schemes when you do it that way. Whistling
Remember that children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get.
