Last year a kind friend gave me some irises that had not produced any flowers at her house but seemed like they were nice and healthy. I told her I thought that irises needed to have their "knees" on top of the ground so they could breathe and that this would help them bloom.
Well! I took them home and planted them all- buried deep! What a hypocrite! Well, not really a hypocrite but I thought they at least needed to be buried deep enough so they would live through the summer and winter. I thought I could excavate them this spring.
Last week I was backing the car out of the garage and stopped suddenly! Look what I found:
So very exciting! AND they are deep true purple, not the light purple-y blue I have seen so often. I really love them. I am so grateful to D for her generosity.
