Misawa: Wow. Your mom's iris must be hardy! Nice to know that they adapt so well to so many places (in case I ever move...). Most of mine are recent additions. I built two raised gardens 3 years ago just for iris as they have always been my favorite flower. I also moved some fans that were languishing under ivy in a rock garden that have turned out to be Quaker Lady. My house was built in 1930 so I think they have been here a very long time. And they are just growing like crazy!
