Ordered my iris. I got some lovely orange ones as well as some different brighter colored ones. No pastels really here! But that's me. I have a few already so these will be a delightful addition to what I have. Now to figure out the bed I can put them all in. That is part of my challenge for today. In between the extreme heat and the deluge of rain tomorrow that they expect for my dear old state - well then.

I am off to go slay the stalks of the bloomed ones so they can get busy readying for next year and I end up with the same colors. I just read not taking off the bloomed on stalk confuses them into making seed. So off I go armed with my knife. How true that is I don't know but I will heed advice.
Every gardener knows that under the cloak of winter lies a miracle ... a seed waiting to sprout, a bulb opening to the light, a bud straining to unfurl. And the anticipation nurtures our dream."
