Thanks Evelyn,
I am glad to be back to the Iris Forum. I tore a tendon in the arch of my right foot last summer and was in a walking cast for about 8 weeks and it is still bothersome when I am gardening if I don't wear the right shoes with support. I have kinda had the same situation as you in that changing the way I was walking bc of the torn arch tendon has caused me to have chronic knee pain on the other leg. I still get out there in the yard to weed and try to keep my beds clean but it has been much tougher after my foot injury. Getting older is definitely not for the "faint of heart." lol
I will check out your and Leslie's collection of Burseen irises. Thanks for responding to my post!
