Re: Walking iris

We had a nice little TS earlier today--lasted about an hour. That ought to make the palms happy.

well most of the rain missed me earlier.... just half mile away while driving home it was pouring, but here just a drizzle. 

I was about to go out and water, but now it is pouring!.... could do
without the mass rain, a soaking one without the lightening and thunder
would have been nice.... but not complaining... we need rain in any
form!

Cripes - we just had the second big storm of the day pass through. So much lightning and thunder you couldn't hear your self think. I'm about to go out and check for damage. A couple hits were really, really close. Sugar's 
under the bed bless her heart.  3 inches at least so far today.

No kidding. They have had several rescues this week of people being
washed away in cars and nearly drowned because the rivers just overflow so suddenly or a piece of the road washes out from under them. I tell my 
girls if they see ANY kind of major water over the roads to "turn
around-don't drown". It's just not worth it to try. Just a half mile
from my place is a horse race track and there is a pond there that
overflowed, took out the fence, washed across a 4-lane highway and
almost flooded a farm across the way. I'm so GLAD we live high on a
hill.

NO KIDDING!! I guess gardeners have a different perspective on life in general! Sometimes, I think my husband thinks I'm one slice short of a 
loaf! I just see things differently than he does!


Jess - where I'm building an arc now....

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.
