Thanks all for the comments. OK, I will leave Capatonic on the list for you, Mary Ann Kool Knights and the NOID are recovering plants, yes, if you remember my "green year" where I didn't treat for iris borers so I could save the world, and nearly lost many irises. Rolling my eyes. I'm not sure if they will bloom this year or not. There are lots of rhizomes there, but quite small yet. We'll see. They are such a pretty ones.

Tango Amego is a really fast increasing plant. You will have a big clump before you know it. Mine got so crowded I had to dig it all out and replant it, as just thinning it didn't keep it down. Could be that it was so happy to miss this nasty -22 degree winter that it's going wild down by you.

Rob, I haven't ordered from Nola's Garden for the last 4 or 5 years. I wasn't too pleased with the rhizomes I got from them. Often so small it took 2 or 3 years for them to bloom. Late shipments etc. Maybe they have improved some over the years.

I was surprised to see the sky was clear this morning when I took the dogs out, and I could actually see the stars shining. I don't know if it will stay clear after the sun comes up, but it sure beats the cloudy drizzle we have been having on and off all week.
Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.
