Robin, thanks, I did plant bearded iris a couple of years ago. I now think they have new names, all of which confuse me,but they sure are pretty.

Miniature Dwarf Bearded (MDB) - Standard Dwarf Bearded (SDB) - Intermediate Bearded (IB) - Border Bearded (BB) -
Miniature Tall Bearded (MTB) & Tall Bearded (TB) or as I write them TBI

Snow plow drivers are never gardeners in my experience. I think they are demolishion derby drivers in the summer and just practice by seeing what they can tear up in the winter.

I am pleased to hear about Morden Sunrise. I had some sparse blooms on "Flutterbye" which is similar in look ,but more yellow, very late, well into Nov this year. I love the open simple bloom type. I have been adding some new Rosa rugosa and am now eyeing a new spot to add a big mass which I will do from swiping some from a couple of big areas that we planted 25 years ago that are making the birds very happy right now. This is Flutterbye on Nov 2. Patti
