Alice,
I think there are some "Daylily" people in your general area. I am in
Florida, about 90 miles north of Tampa and about 25 miles inland from the
Gulf of Mexico. There are not that many Irises that will grow here, but I
love the ones I can grow. Many of my plants have to be grown in pots or
tubs, some in a good potting mix depending on the plant type. Some do grow
fine in our sand.

hi mark, no, I'm not in tasmania, but the conditions are similar to parts
of, I'm in southern New South Wales, between the "snowy mountains" and the
coast, in the hinterland, on the top of a decomposing granite hill (altitude
250 m.) temp 45 to -1 or 2 degrees celsius in winter, lovely sun most of the
time, even when looking at the snow in the distance, it's meant to snow here
every 7 years haven't seen it yet, maybe this winter. At the moment I'm
expecting floods down in the valley some time in the next month, everything
is totally saturated, and next summer we'll all be trying to dodge fires
from hell (even the oxygen in the air burns now with the bigger fires), with
all the re-growth from these last two seasons, but I'm going off in a
tangent, whatabout potting mixes and culture? thanks alice
