Sorry it took me so long to get back. I've been real busy with some special company. Thanks for the nice comments.

Erynne, I don't do anything special. I should fertilize them more, but they usually just get whatever the other perennials are getting, not a lot. When I divide them every few years, I add some compost to the soil.

I really enjoy the dwarf irises and if you have trouble with irises flopping over, these are a great choice. I have to have the TBs too, though, for the spectacular show. The NLRIS (Northern_Lights_Iris on Yahoo Groups) is having a sale in July for several types of irises, especially for us gardeners in the cold climates. I'm sure I will overspend again, and be looking for spots to put all these babies. Just can't resist.
