Lucy ...
I do think they are beautiful. It's just that they don't work in this garden. I am a rose addict and the whole garden has been built around roses.
This is my first in-ground garden and I've had a lot to learn. I almost destroyed this rose by planting the irises in the wrong place.
Mrs. J had some irises sited at the top of the slope and they couldn't be seen unless I was working up there. They only grew about a foot tall, so I thought the must be dwarf irises. Oops !
I did move the irises and did a rejuvenation prune on the rose so that it now has foliage down to the ground again.
I'd much rather pass along Mrs. J's irises to someone who really wants them than to keep them on my I'll-get-to-them-list.
I love my Dutch irises ... and have sited them in the wrong place, too and need to move them.
Smiles,
Lyn
