That's great news, Marilyn! I hope you love them as I do.

Etelka - looks like you may have planted them too deeply. The top of the rhizome should be exposed to the sun. Remove some of the mulch from the top of the iris. I guess next year will be the lucky one. Your big white one just might be Immortality, usually a repeat bloomer.

Thanks, Marcia. I feel the same way - Etelka has the showplace garden on her street, the one everyone gets to enjoy. Here's a photo of the irises I sent Etelka - they are tall bearded and do bloom in May and June.
