Cat--

That geranium in pic #4 is "Bigroot Geranium"--originally from Sally.
It can get a bit spread out--but you can, easily. remove rooted sections of it
to propagate, move, or share. It does cover a bit of an area.

Cat---
The light blue iris with the white "cap" is from me--via my neighbor's garden--via
her father who was from Holland--who gifted my neighbor, Betsy, (his daughter)
with various Irises. When she was deteriorating with inevitable Alzeheimers--
her daughters moved her into a extended care living place.

The house (next to mine) sat unoccupied for 2 years--and I dug up and saved
some Iris b/c I loved them so. She also had a lot of "Naked lady" plants...
but they needed to be dug up--and i did not want to be too obvious about "stealing"
someone elses plants.
I should have taken them all--as when the Pakistani family moved into this house--
the husband cut down all the shrubs and dug up all kinds of places.
Eventually--he also cut down the three trees in their back yard....

And i was worried about digging up some Iris and DL's???
So--your Iris has some history behind it--

The old fashioned red Daylilies are also from my neighbor's garden.
About every 3 years--I have to dig them up and divide them....many go to the Swap.

here they are....
