OT-CHAT: spring!

---

Actually, these pictures are from a while ago - they've about finished now.

I can't believe these reticulata are so crowded, they need to be
divided. This may be the "vale of despair" for bearded irises, but
these little early bulbous irises thrive here. Not danfordiae, but the
various inexpensive blues and purples I've tried (un-named varieties
from Walmart)
