RE: Re: J. Iris

Not everywhere Cathy...

Mine have died off except for one small stand. Now 150ft north in my mothers
pond they are very aggressive... 

Sorry Ceres, I have a few iris, but not sure the names of any of them- all
hand me downs...no clue on most of them...

Speaking of.... someone gave me what was called a variegated water iris for
my pond. Looks like an iris type leaf/fan. In 5 years, it has spread (not
bad, but definitely on the move) but has never bloomed. Someone said it
might be variegated sweet flag.. but it isn't grass/carex like. I guess it
doesn't matter, fills the void with a nice multicolored fan...
