Iris koreana #2

I never thought of Ohio as a southern state but many of Dennis' pictures 
have got me thinking now that it is. It sounds like koreana would probably 
be iffy here but it's worth a shot in protected spot. I think I have some 
seed stuffed in a box with some others I wasn't sure of. If I leave it 
stuffed in a box in the pantry I'll never know. Temps of -20F, -28C aren't 
uncommon here but I generally have decent snow cover. The cold, wet springs 
may be a bigger problem.

Daffodils are just barely breaking ground here. Iris are a ways off yet. 
Still some snow on the backside of the house and in the deep shade.

Still I've got nothing to loose trying.
