Congrats on your self discipline and sticking to the plan, Robin!
So far I have avoided ordering any new bearded irises. (I do have a trio of potted PCIs arriving very soon, but that's a different matter.
)
My problem is that with so many bearded irises, none are grown to their garden potential. So really, they aren't garden ornaments, maybe more the opposite. Therefore (because of space, gophers, sunlight, etc. considerations) a reduction-in-force is required. Hopefully having fewer irises will mean I can/will maintain them better, and they can do their best (even if confined to a pot).
