Well -- if Iris can essentially come back from the dead -- why can't we???  After all, we've got *Iris* in our blood, right?  Thoughts become things -- choose the good ones. (www.tut.com) |

My experiment rhizome I left out exposed of a pile of wood chips all Summer long has vanished. Something found it and took it away, along with a few missing rhizomes from some pots.  |

I have an ignored Acoma that is defying me and growing even though it never quite got put in the ground. On top of earth, yes, by next spring it will probably beat me around the ears and point out how well it is doing, no thanks to me.  Back to Napa: I made my small order for this year. Painter iris: Cherokee Flame Chocolatte (ordered but never got last year - different vendor) Spice Trader The no suprise I ordered it: Grace Upon Grace The rest: Darn Tootin'. One Burseen at least required. Point Of No Return - to try this one more time too. Mesmerized - who doesn't want a white with flounces?

| Honestly Rob -- your problems this year have been unending!!! I hope you're getting it all out of the way this year -- and that you sail free with no problems in 2016!!! Thoughts become things -- choose the good ones. (www.tut.com) |

| Cross posted - I agree that Rob had a bad year. Though they are nice irises too.... "The chimera is a one time happenstance event where the plant has a senior moment and forgets what it is doing." - Paul Black |

| @UndertheSun Rob, forgive me if you already listed the Iris that you lost. Would you mind doing it again. I'm most of us can help out! • “Whoever said, ‘Do something right and you won’t have to do it again’ never weeded a garden.” – Anonymous |

| Thank you Barbara, I've lost so many that I have lost track... I'll need to do a walk around and write down the name of every iris that I have and compare it to my data base. |

| After you do please post all the losses/missing so we can fill in the empty spaces. "The chimera is a one time happenstance event where the plant has a senior moment and forgets what it is doing." - Paul Black |

Lestv said:I lost a couple Blue J bonuses this year too. Bummed to lose Grace Upon Grace especially. John, I will put you down for Girly Girl next summer, if you would like? Good morning. Good news. I found Girly Girl yesterday. She popped up in the middle of my NOID bed, no idea how she got there. So thank you for offering her to me, but now feel free to send her to someone else.
