Jan...thanks for your kind comment on my garden. "space agers" are iris with some type of appendage at or below the beard. Most are TBs. Don't be embarrassed to make comments or ask questions. We are all here to discuss and learn. I hope you are rewarded with lots of bloom next year. Here in zone 5 Utah I like to have things planted by the first of Sept. so they can develope a root system before winter. I don't have a heaving problem with the iris here.
