Re: Walking iris

I sorta like the way it's almost symmetrical but not--like the rest of life, 15 degrees off center. :>)

  Walking iris bloom; it's about the size of a half-dollar.

My african iris (which came from your seed Jim) is up, but no visible
bloom spike yet- it's still early though for us here. If you can post
a picture of your walking iris I'd love to see it!

The walking iris [Neomaricas longifolia], which bloomed a month or so
ago, is blooming again, just as the last bloom spike, now burdened
with offsets, is bending to the ground. I think I need to take this
plant out of its pot and plant it in the ground. Maybe later this
week. I've also some African iris [Dietes iridiodes], which I
"temporarily" potted up a few years ago, that I'd like to get back in
the ground. Maybe I need to think iris on Wednesday or Thursday.
