@iciris for bumping this thread, I was too deeply mired in my own crazy life to be on the forums much in early May (still am, but now I'm being rebellious about it).
My story isn't nearly as good as everyone elses' stories at all, but when we moved to this property, I noticed that there were irises growing randomly on one part of the yard. Hard to explain, but it was clear they were long neglected or randomly grown from a wayward seed or two somehow. I made it clear to my husband that he was *not* to mow over them, LoL, and the grass sprouted up around them and buried them before in no time, well before I could get to them to dig them out. Three days ago, I finally went out there with a hand spade, braved the mosquitos--who didn't seem phased by my bug spray--they ate me alive!--and rescued the unknown irises that seemed determined to survive where they were at, despite it all.
I don't know if all of the rhizomes are the same variety or not, but I'm hoping they bloom this year or next so that I can see what they are! I want those bug bites to be worth it, LoL!
