Sherry, It can be hard to turn down irises. My earliest memory of irises were having them in the yard. My mother planted them shortly after we had moved into the house back in January 1976 (have to go by what they said as I turned two that month). I always can recall having them in the yard even before starting elementary. We always grew veggies and such. I remember my mom could get a plant from someone that was basically dead and before you knew it had all kinds of new growth. Within a few weeks it looked like a new plant on steroids. I don't have the same green thumb that she had , but I do my best. I would love to do more on the yard then funds would allow and make it my household own someday.
