I spent a lot of time clipping off bloomstalks with bee pods forming. I always miss a few and get a few seedlings blooming near an established clump each year. Grumbling It seems like the ones the bees make are really hardy and if I did not dig them out when I first spot them they would manage to take over the space of the desired iris. I look for little new irises that are not connected to the clump when I am weeding too. I can just pull them out with the weeds. I have some areas set aside for seedlings and no room for any more. Shrug! If one or two bloom and they are really lovely.... then they are keepers. Big Grin
Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?
