Wish I were better at saving tags. I always think I'll remember what a plant is, but that is but a dream. I like all the little hostas above!

Yes, Holly, the liatris did great! Mine usually end up in a vase, but left on the plant, they do shrivel and dry up by August or so. Glad the fundraising supported a good cause and let me know if there's another one in the future. I'll reserve a chunk of the purple iris for you- see it below, although the bee dusted and dirtied up the petal a bit. And I'd love to try a few Schizostylis lilies. The photos I searched are lovely.

Thanks to Rach and PIx for tree scouting for me. Don't break any laws harvesting them (Pixy!) but I will gladly host any and all.

Susie , Dmail for you either tonight or tomorrow. And I love your hosta there! Your d.formosa patch sounds heavenly and happy in its spot.
Katye, Dmail for you too on the same schedule.

All: there is one more iris, I believe a Pacific Coast Iris or a hybrid that I need to thin out. It gets about18-24" tall in clumps with early and long lasting creamy/yellow/purple blooms and grows robustly in part sun. Maybe Cattledogs can help me i.d. it? Photo, if I have one, to follow this post.
