Joyce I love iris, but for some reason, the ones I have planted have not bloomed.. the one patch I had of my great aunt effies finally bloomed afer being in the ground for 8 years.. she called them orchid iris, they got really tall and looked like yours in the picture there.. here is a picture of mine this spring..
the newest seed area is in the bean patch where I threw seeds down.It is also going well, no blooms yet so will have lots by end of october.. I love to plant seeds.. love to see them come up.. I got some iris seeds from an very very old iris patch in Winfield, Ks. I didn't get to see the blooms, so this will be fun, if those come up. I am planting them this fall out back. Maybe I plant too deep for them? maybe I water too much?
